Joe Dunlap Memorial Race - A HUGE Success! PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 02 February 2010 08:31
The first race of the 2010 GCKI Sprng Series was held on February 7th and was dedicated to Joe Dunlap in
recognition of his volunteering to the GCKI club for almost 40 years.  Joe was instrumental in getting the club
started and wholeheartedly supported it, helping it grow to where it is today.  Joe passed away earlier in 2010
and racers were invited to attend to honor Joe and celebrate his life and contributions to our club.  

THANKS TO ALL OUR RACERS,  we had a phenomenal turnout!   It was a cloudy and windy day with a high
temperature of 52 degrees.  It was also Super Bowl Sunday.  None of that stopped the racers from showing up
at the track.  We had a total of 63 race entries - ranging from age 5 to 79!  It was a great day for racing and showing
your support of our club.  

We look forward to holding the Joe Dunlap Memorial Race as our first race of our Spring Series annually.  Thanks 
to Joe and his family for providing such a great venue for all of us to share!
