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 !

Randy Kohr took the GTC PD pole ! Check out how close the top 3 were !

Congrats Randy! Everyone in attendance saw how it's supposed to be done both in setup and driving. It's gonna be hard to dethrone the "Champ".
