The DRAW annual Tracy Winter Memorial Golf Tournament was held the Wednesday before the NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville Fla. The event once again at the Ironwood Golf Course near the track attracts some of the best NHRA golfers and is always a good time and the proceeds go to help DRAW with the great work they do. And unlike 2022, the tournament was held under beautiful Florida skies and warm temperatures. A golfers paradise.

John DiBartolomeo was a huge fan of the event and loved golf although he told me golf always didn’t love him back. I told John, we would continue to cover the event for Drag Racing Action Online. Lucas Oil manager Don Corsette passed away right before the event and was missed as was John D.
