The PDRA launched its 10th Anniversary season last weekend with the Summit Motorsports Equipment East Coast National at Galot Motorsports Park. Racers woke on elimination day to rain and winds over 40 mph. So, in the name of safety, racing was moved to Sunday. Racers took full advantage of the cool conditions and delivered a great day of racing. Here are some photo highlights by Dave Oakes.
