Saturday Oct. 27 brought a beautiful but cool day in southern Maryland. After a nice trip down route 15, right past Gettysburg battlefield, it was time for the Mason Dixon Retro opener. GT Coupes were up first, a disappointing turnout with only 8 drivers entering the event. Where are all the Pa, MD, Del, and Va retro racers? Keyboard racing we assume !
