OPDS would like to welcome a new sponsor to our series- HOSTLER TRANSMISSIONS (302-220-7363)
Jim Hostler is the owner and operator of Hostler Transmissions and you can be sure he puts the best into every job. Testimony to his work is the impressive list of racers who’s transmissions he has worked on- including some of the quickest Pontiacs around- Jeff Kinsler, Paul Spotts, All-Pontiac, as well as some of our OPDS racers- Doug Chell, Wayne Garrison, Jack Gaydosh, Steve Dress to name a few.
Besides being the guy to see for your Transmission work Jim is a Pontiac racer and enthusiast himself so he knows what you need and how to get it done for you and your Pontiac. Give Jim a call and talk to him about your transmission needs. Or, talk to one of our OPDS racers who know of Jim and his work. |

Race 1 –May 6- Completed!! After a questionable start to the season with our race at Capitol being cancelled due to the track’s temporarily closing, OPDS came out in force at Mason Dixon. Even though the skies looked threatening most of the day it was a great turn out for our first race of the season. Nineteen cars entered competition and when the win light came on it was Wayne Garrison’s 69 GTO taking home the trophy and cash over the breaking-out Randy Peer in his ’63 Lemans. Semifinal went to Stu Kincaid (65 GTO), and Quarters to Ann Beard (69 Bonneville) and Mike Clay (62 Catalina).

Another record for us saw 18 of the 19 entries sign-up for our points program, which pays out cash down to 10th place at the season’s end. And new this year we are offering a “Second Chance” cash bonus of $100 to the points participant who gains the most points in the second half of the season. Add to that our “Sponsor Support” program (which gave away a TV last season), a chance at our “Bounty” (for knocking out the #1 points leader in any round), plus gift certificates from Butler Performance and Performance Years, and our Cash payouts down to quarterfinals( $495 to race #1 winner Wayne Garrison), why wouldn’t you want to come out and join us?!
Special Thanks to our sponsors and their support for this season and to everyone who helped out on Sunday.
Also, thanks to Mike Bassin, track announcer at MD. Mike is a great guy, a great announcer and a Pontiac guy as well. Mike knows racing and knows Pontiacs. Mike did a great job at presenting our racers to the spectators and I know he would love to hear about your ride. If you see Mike talk to him and thank him for his help in promoting OPDS.
See you next race- June 9- Mason Dixon |

You may have noticed a new name in our news of Race #5 – Andy Nutt. Andy raced at the Maple Grove event and made note of our series and has been wanting to participate in one of our races. He made it to the event at Capitol and finished in the semis with his great looking/running 67 Lemans.
Early in the event Andy stepped forward and announced that he would like to help with the series and signed on as a major sponsor! A true Pontiac enthusiast, Andy says he would like to support our efforts and help grow the attendance. In talking with Andy a short time in the lanes at Capitol I can attest to his enthusiasm, as well as his prowess as a racer, and welcome him to our series. He’s one of the good guys! Take the time to introduce yourself to Andy and if you have the opportunity, help support his business. |
