Roseland Racing In 2008, a new hobby was started. We had been going to the local drag racing track to help pit crew for our friend, Nina McDonald. She drag races in a 1969 Pontiac GTO. Finally, after much encouragement, Doug began to race our friend's truck in streets. He learned quickly and one night became the winner, beating out many much more experienced competitors. The bug had bitten and Roseland Racing was started.
Of course, streets were too tame, so Doug purchased a 1974 Pontiac Firebird, already set up for racing. The car has required a lot of work to get it race ready and as a result, has not yet been on the track. But, over the winter, more modifications will be made in anticipation of the 2009 race season.
Of course, the first thing you have to do is tear the car apart and make sure everything is working perfectly. But.......the end result is to hopefully be able to race in 2009 with and against Doug's mentor, Nina McDonald.
