National Sand Drag News - NEW National Sand Drag News (NSDN) is an online magazine covering the sport of sand drag racing. NSDN’s full array of up to the minute news and race coverage can be found online at www.NationalSandDragNews.com. Here is a brief explanation of what NSDN covers. The fast growing motor sport of sand drag racing consists of race cars that are very similar to their asphalt drag racing counterparts racing down 300 feet long (100 yard) tracks with a sand/dirt surface. The headliners of the show are the Nitro-burning Top Fuel dragsters that cross the finish line in under 2.5 seconds and reach speeds in excess of 160 MPH. Although the Top Fuel cars are the headliners of the show, multitudes of grass roots bracket racers compile the largest racer group in the sand. NSDN focuses on the hottest properties in sand drag racing, including coverage of the Pro Truck Nationals (PTN) series and other large independent events. Other large independent races across the country are also covered. NSDN covers these events with live race updates, race results, news, features, race videos, and photos. https://nsdn.us/index.php 2024-07-16T02:45:29+00:00 National Sand Drag News editor@nsdn.us Joomla! - Open Source Content Management Avenal Oct '13 Race Results 2013-10-17T10:56:21+00:00 2013-10-17T10:56:21+00:00 https://nsdn.us/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=752&catid=98&Itemid=41 Administrator editor@nsdn.us <strong>Avenal Sand Drags<br /> Avenal, CA<br /> October 12-13, 2013 Race Results</strong><br /> <br /> <strong>Top Alcohol</strong><br /> 1st-Gary Mink<br /> 2nd-Jeff Hitchman<br /> <br /> <strong>Avenal Sand Drags<br /> Avenal, CA<br /> October 12-13, 2013 Race Results</strong><br /> <br /> <strong>Top Alcohol</strong><br /> 1st-Gary Mink<br /> 2nd-Jeff Hitchman<br /> <br /> NSDN Daily Race Coverage - Atoka Fall Fest Oct '13 2013-10-09T21:41:04+00:00 2013-10-09T21:41:04+00:00 https://nsdn.us/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=750&catid=98&Itemid=41 Administrator editor@nsdn.us <img alt="sameday-atokamay11.jpg" src="https://nsdn.us/images/stories/issue10-13/sameday-atokaoct13.jpg" style="border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); width: 500px; height: 63px;" title="sameday-atokamay11.jpg" /><br /> <br /> <center> <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial"><b>Presented By:</b></span><br /> <br /> <img alt="trowerlogo.jpg" height="129" src="http://www.nationalsanddragnews.com/images/stories/issue5-11/trowerlogo.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #000000; width: 172px; height: 129px" title="trowerlogo.jpg" width="172" /> <a href="http://www.atokasanddrags.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="atokalogo.jpg" height="129" src="http://www.nationalsanddragnews.com/images/stories/issue5-11/atokalogo.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #000000; width: 172px; height: 129px" title="atokalogo.jpg" width="172" /></a></center> <br /> <strong>Saturday<br /> <br /> </strong>The 2013 Fall Fest at Atoka Motorsports Park in Oklahoma completed on Saturday with some stellar sand drag racing. Courtney Stidham had a string of amazing RT&rsquo;s &amp; ET&rsquo;s en route to the Top Eliminator class victory. Courtney defeated 2013 MASD TE class champ Terry Glasscock in the final round. The Pro 1 Cars class featured a dramatic final round with a lot riding on this one pass. Not only would the winner of this pass decide the 2013 MASD Pro 1 Cars champion, but Tim Feuerhelm also had the opportunity to lock up the Atoka Motorsports Park Pro 1 Cars championship with a victory. When the dust settled, Feuerhelm scored dual championships as he defeated 2012 MASD class champion John Acker. In the Pro 1 Quads final round, Larry Holt took a close victory over newly crowned 2013 MASD class champion Randy Kimbley. Rod Trower soloed to the Top Alcohol victory as well as MASD championship with a stout 2.73/134MPH. Other big winners on the day included Michigan&rsquo;s Buddy Hammett (Pro 2 Cars), Rick Lovelace (Pro 2 Quads), John Pate (Pro 3 Quads), and Gus Griffith (Pro 4 Quads). <strong>**Run Sheets &amp; Videos are now posted**</strong><br /> <br /> <img alt="sameday-atokamay11.jpg" src="https://nsdn.us/images/stories/issue10-13/sameday-atokaoct13.jpg" style="border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); width: 500px; height: 63px;" title="sameday-atokamay11.jpg" /><br /> <br /> <center> <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial"><b>Presented By:</b></span><br /> <br /> <img alt="trowerlogo.jpg" height="129" src="http://www.nationalsanddragnews.com/images/stories/issue5-11/trowerlogo.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #000000; width: 172px; height: 129px" title="trowerlogo.jpg" width="172" /> <a href="http://www.atokasanddrags.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="atokalogo.jpg" height="129" src="http://www.nationalsanddragnews.com/images/stories/issue5-11/atokalogo.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #000000; width: 172px; height: 129px" title="atokalogo.jpg" width="172" /></a></center> <br /> <strong>Saturday<br /> <br /> </strong>The 2013 Fall Fest at Atoka Motorsports Park in Oklahoma completed on Saturday with some stellar sand drag racing.

Robert Skidmore continued to set amaze as he lowered his Fast Fours World Record with a 2.747 in Eliminations, the Quickest Ever pass by a Turbo 4-cylinder Dragster. Another record was set as Geoff Gill piloted the Larry Minor Motorsports Hemi-powered Jeep to a 2.86 backed up by a 2.87 for the A/Pro Jeep World Record. Gill also emerged victorious in Pro Mod Unlimited action. Garrett Ratliff celebrated his 21st Birthday with the win in the Motorcycle Pro 1 category. Other winners on the day included Randy Mings (Motorcycle Pro 2), Tara DeNunzio (Powderpuff Cars), Nikki Bailey (Powderpuff ATV), Christian Myers (Junior Dragster), Breanna Canfield (Juniors), Dylan Hegwood (Mini Jr Dragster), and Deegan Gutierrez (Peewees). The event was cut short due to electrical gremlins in the Timing System, so several classes split the money and points while others will finish at the November SCSDA race.
