The sand drag world has been busy over the first part of the 2013 season, as evidenced by my absence from this column the last couple of months. West coast racers had a great choice of events to hit with five races from the end of January through the end of April. Obviously with the Summer heat, they will take a few months off and get back at it in early October. The final two west coast points races will be action packed with racers vying for both the NSRA & SCSDA series championships. NSDN will be there covering all angles.

The Southern California Sand Drag Association continued their 2013 campaign with the April Fuels event in Mid-April. This event also served as Race Four for the NSRA Quality Aircraft Care point series. Sunshine and warm temperatures turned into cloud cover with cooler temps on Sunday race day, but that made for some great conditions for comfortable sand drag racing. Here’s a run down of this event.

Rain was the big winner this weekend at Atoka Motorsports Park’s regular May point series event. An unforeseen Oklahoma rain shower dumped a ton of rain causing the race to be cancelled after the Trophy classes were completed. Tim Feuerhelm not only won the Pro 1 Cars trophy class, but he also ran his Personal Best ET with a 3.56 with his Motorcycle-powered Dragster. The Martin Racing father-son team swept the Pro 1 Quads class as James Martin put away his son and 2012 MASD class champion Luke in the final round. A decision on a points makeup for this event will be announced at a later date. Up next for Atoka Motorsports Park is the 15th Annual Heartland Nationals Memorial Day Weekend April 24-26.
