GSQMRC Holds 20th Annual Turkey Derby

The Garden State Quarter Midget Racing Club held its last race weekend of the season with its 20th Annual Turkey Derby.  One hundred seventy seven cars filled the pits during two days of racing. 

The weekend was kicked off Friday evening with a turkey dinner with all the fixings provided through the club by DRJ Catering.  Drivers were also able to have practice time on the track throughout the evening.

Saturday opened with a driver and handler meeting and then the racing began with heats in all thirteen divisions.  Lower mains followed and stopped at the end of the C-mains for the evening.

Racers strolled through the pits by 8:45 Sunday morning to a bright day with clear blue skies.  All B mains were run and then a special presentation of retiring drivers delivered a patriotic tone to the afternoon.

Retiring driver Jonathan Flagg would win his final A main of his career in the Light Mod division.  Joey Bailey would bring home first place trophies in two of the three divisions he entered.

The club will re-open in March of 2012 with the Annual Garden State Classic weekend.  For further information, please check out our website at www.gardenstateqmrc.com  Anyone interested in becoming a novice racer next year should contact the club soon.
