Petition drive sends the ADRL back to Georgia on April 10-11
American Drag Racing League officials announced today that round number
two of the 2009 National Guard ADRL tour, will take place at Cook
County Georgia's South Georgia Motorsports Park (SGMP) located in
Cecil, Georgia on April 10-11.
In doing so, it gives the phrase "back by popular demand" a whole new meaning for the National Guard ADRL.
When the 2009 National Guard ADRL event schedule was being drawn up,
ADRL officials had looked to expanding the tour into Florida. But late
last week, a package filled with a petition containing over 6100 names
of south Georgia and north Florida race fans arrived at the ADRL's
O'Fallon headquarters. It had ADRL President and CEO Kenny Nowling
placing a phone call to SGMP general manager Tim Fleming.
