ABOUT OPDS |
We are an ALL-PONTIAC drag racing bracket series dedicated to the avid Pontiac enthusiast. The race series consists of 8-10 races per season, showing off the very best in Pontiac automobiles. Our home track is Mason Dixon Dragway located in Hagerstown, MD. We also travel to other tracks in Maryland and Pennsylvania. In 2008, we held seven of nine races at Mason Dixon and two races at Beaver Springs Dragway. In 2008, we organized under the business name of "OPDS Management LLC". 2009 will be our 11th season of racing action.
We offer two classes to race in: Warrior and Street which feature everything from an all-out 6 second NHRA Pro Stock car to 14 second front wheel drive GTP’s. Early classics such as the GTO, Tempest, Lemans, and Firebird to the latest Trans Am, Grand Am, Sunfire, or Fiero. In addition to our points races, in the past we have participated in Pontiac car shows, hosted barbecues, and brought in famous Pontiac personalities, such as Drag Racing Legend Arnie Beswick. Every season we hold an end of year Awards Banquet where everyone leaves a winner. While we run a season long points "race", you do not have to signup for the points race to race with us. Anyone who has a Pontiac is welcome to come out and run with us at any time.
Our sponsors range from some of the biggest named Pontiac focused aftermarket providers to local businesses who like what we stand for.
The people who run the races and those that work behind the scenes are all volunteer's. All of the race fees, points fees, and sponsor money goes back to the racers in the form of race payouts, banquet awards and some small admin costs.
If you have a Pontiac, check out our Rules page, our Schedule page and come on out and run with us. We are a very low keyed group that values having fun. We want everyone that runs with us to have a good time. We are proud of the fact that most first timer's with us mention how much fun we have. We'd love to have you.
If you are a business looking to get your name in front a large audience of automotive enthusiasts, we can promote your name. We offer both internet visability throughout the year on this website and visability at every race in the form of your logo on our race-day banner, handouts, flyers and your advertising materials, along with name recognition at our driver's meetings. We can display your logo, banners and provide table space for some of your products at our end of year banquet. A number of our series managers are business owners themselves, so we have an inside tract on what it takes to represent your brand. Contact one of our directors to see how we may be of assistance!
