Great showing of cars yesterday for our "practice" day. About 14+ cars and many more drivers took part in the 2 hour session at Trinity Lutheran church over on Harper. But tomorrow is the big day! Looks like great weather and with the rumble of 49 cars all together, should make for a fantastic show.

Registration at 7am

Pancakes with the Mt. Clemens fire department at 8am

Qualifying at 9am

Racing at Noon

To all fans, sponsors, owners, I need a little assistance. The derby has been handed off to a few different race directors over the last decade and while handing off all the paperwork and whatnot things fall the the cracks. I am missing division/bather bowl winners from 2018-2022. IF you have an old program or remember drivers and sponsors of who was where. Please drop a comment or PM. I am doing a little history work and would love to have as much as I can. Thank you in advance and we hope to see everyone 9/7 for race day!

From the man himself! 30 years and he's finally gonna call it a career that is worthy of multiple Hall of Fame inductions. The Jim's Catering Special will try ONE last time to take the overall GP winners trophy with his grandson, reigning and defending GP champion Francisco Gullett behind the wheel! Come join us to see if the first ever second generation champion (following in his father's and uncle's footsteps), can become the YOUNGEST back 2 back champion ever!
