Grand Bend Motorplex.com | Weekends are a Drag!

The first big event of the season blessed us with the best weekend of the Summer so far and that helped attract close to 250 race teams, plenty of spectators, campers and crew, and made for a great race weekend. For the first race of the season many racers were really on their game and the competiton was very competitive. You always expect a few hiccups on the opening race weekend since everyone is still a little rusty, but the cars ran hard and clean each day and the GBM staff got right back into the groove making for a great race weekend. Hope we can continue this trend.

For those who made it out of the campground/pits on Sunday night the 5 bands who performed put on a great show -  all with different styles and talents -  Congrat's to Black Frame Spectacle on winning the Battle of the Bands.
