Our race car, a 2000 horsepower GTO with nitrous that completes an eighth-of-a-mile in just 4 seconds, competed in several races during the 2023 season. Here’s a recap of our journey:
- August 1-3: First race in Martin, Michigan, PDRA
- August 18-20: Second race in Bristol, Tennessee, PDRA
- October 3-5: Third race in Benson, North Carolina, PDRA
- October 18-20: Final PDRA race in Richmond, Virginia, PDRA
- December 5-8: We reached the Winner’s Circle/First place at the 53rd Snowbird Outlaw Nationals in Bradenton Motorsports Park, Florida!
This venture was made possible through the incredible generosity of Chris Holdolf from CC Pumping, who donated the sponsorships for the car to Freedom Grow, and Randy Lanier, FG board member and racing legend, who worked tirelessly to organize sponsors.
We are deeply grateful to our sponsors and supporters. Proceeds from this sponsorship have enabled us to continue funding our Wish Program, provide commissary money for cannabis prisoners, and even create this new website!
The PDRA has warmly embraced Freedom Grow, even allowing cannabis vendors to participate in the Michigan event. This is a family-oriented racing community, with parents and children engaging in the excitement. In Michigan, Freedom Grow had a booth where we educated the public about our mission, the injustices of cannabis prohibition, and the work we do to support prisoners and their families. The positive reception from the racing community and attendees has been inspiring.
Our race car competed in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Tennessee, Michigan and Florida, showcasing Freedom Grow’s message across the country. Together, we’re spreading awareness, breaking barriers, and continuing to Bring Light to Dark Cells.
