GEEZERS REUNION AT THE GROVE ADDED TO NHRA HOT ROD HERITAGE RACING SERIES 2010 SCHEDULE AS AN AFFILIATE EVENT
GLENDORA, Calif. (March 22, 2010) – The Geezers Reunion at The Grove presented by Yuengling has been added to the 2010 NHRA Hot Rod Heritage Racing Series as an Affiliate Event, it was announced today by NHRA officials.
The ninth annual Geezers Reunion at The Grove, the second affiliate event and 11th race overall in the 2010 NHRA Hot Rod Heritage Racing Series schedule, will be held July 2-3 at scenic Maple Grove Raceway near Reading, Pa.
The race will feature 16 nostalgia racers taking part in the NAPA Auto Parts Cavalcade of Funny Cars. Other major highlights of the event include a Cacklefest, car show, several sportsman classes in competition, jet cars, wheelstanders and a thrilling fireworks display to finish the weekend with a bang.
“This year marks the ninth annual Geezers Reunion at The Grove and the third year it’s been affiliated with the NHRA Hot Rod Heritage Racing Series,” said Maple Grove Raceway vice president/general manager Lex Dudas. “The event continued to grow over the past two years and we’d like to think that was due to our efforts and the Hot Rod Heritage affiliation.”
The event will feature several classes of cars, including Justice Brothers Car Care Products bracket racing for cars 1984 and older with separate categories for electronics and no electronics; the Northeast Timing Organization; the Mid Atlantic Nostalgia Drag Racers Association; East Coast Gassers; and the 422 All-Stars.
The NHRA Hot Rod Heritage Racing Series was developed in 2008 to help preserve NHRA’s rich history and tradition while providing racing opportunities for those enthusiasts who enjoy nostalgia drag racing competition.
