 OPIE'S ALL-OUT DRAG RACE RESULTS CLICK HERE!!


   Racers and fans from all over Michigan came in full-force for the inaugural "Outlaw Street Drags" event at Ubly Dragway this past Saturday June 23rd.   This first event was named "Opie's All-Out Memorial Drag Racing Event"
in memory of Adam "Opie" McIntosh.
   Adam was a 26 year-old Flint area mechanic who was known as "King of the Street" by many of his racing friends who accompanied him to area racetracks and car cruises.  He was killed in a shooting incident while working on his car at a car cruise last summer.  Hundreds of those friends were on hand at Ubly Saturday to celebrate his life.
   When the smoke cleared Saturday, it was obvious that it was the Flint-area racers who wanted the trophies the most.  They dominated the action, with finalists in 8 of 10 divisions.  Overall, 13 of the 20 awarded trophies went to the Flint area.
  
Comments from Debbie "Momma" McIntosh on the Flint area racers' success:

Every year in Memory of our Son Adam Ryan McIntosh, aka Opie, That was his nick name was Opie, we hold a scholarship event in his name, 100s and 100s of Flint area Racers showed up for our sons memory and took home
all the trophies, they won in every event even the burnout contest were Won by our group of racers, nobody can beat the Flint racers, these guys Rocked.....view the slide show, our Sons car is the nice white one with the plate on the bumper that says SPEED, and Adam  Dad is racing it.....we did 10 seconds in the quarter mile at the event over 140 mph, click on the link below to view.
