NSDA Primm Apr '09 Photo Extra

2009-04-30T15:50:14+00:00

The 2009 version of the NSDA Primm Valley Resorts Spring Nationals lived up to expectations. A large car count along with tight racing showed why this event is highly regarded as one of the top sand drag racing events of the season. An example of the close racing was in the unbelievable Top Eliminator class with eight entries qualifying at 2.99 seconds or better, then to top it off after an awesome day of eliminations the final round was decided by a mere .005. That was all just in one class, across the board there was incredible action in all classes. Let’s take a look back at some of the more memorable racers and cars from the weekend through photos from our friends at C3 Productions – www.c3productions.net or www.myspace.com/c3productionsphotos.

Spring is in the air and here in the Midwest, the anticipation is growing with the start of the racing season less than a month away. WMSD has a Test and Tune scheduled for May 2 with a point series race the next weekend. The Pro Truck Nationals series has its first race on May 15th and 16th to kick off that series, and most other tracks have at least one race in May to get started out. It’s great to have racing getting started again around here and it appears like its going to be a good year.
