The 2010 APBA Gold Cup has been moved back to the original dates of July 9-11.  After initially indicating that they could handle the date change, several Departments of the City of Detroit have encountered insurmountable logistic and budgetary problems, and have indicated that they cannot provide essential services on the June date.

"This is a major disappointment and an inconvenience not only for the participants and the staff and Board of DRRA, but more importantly for the many hard-working volunteers whose efforts are vital to implementing every part of this complex event. While we regret the necessity to make this change, the Board of Directors is fully prepared to present a great event to our loyal fans and to all the participants," said Tom Bertolini, President of DRRA and Race Director.  "We are excited about the ticket sales we have already made, and all of these tickets will be honored for the July 9-11 date."

The 2010 Detroit APBA Gold Cup will begin with testing and qualifying on Friday, July 9, and racing will be Saturday and Sunday.
