NSDA and the Avenal Sand Drag board have come to
an offical agreement. NSDA will be the sanctioning body for all ASDI races.
ASDI will run the same rules and race formats as the NSDA. ASDI will continue
with all classes that have been ran prior in Avenal. NSDA will adopt those
classes ONLY for the May race in Avenal and not to be included in the points
race. The classes in question are Pro 4, Sport 3 & 4. JR classes will now
fall into the NSDA structure, any question on Jr's please call me. If you are
teched at an NSDA event that will now be valid for ASDI events.
This concludes NSDN's updates from the three west coast events this weekend. Keep checking with NSDN for photos and video from these events in the next week or so.

What more can be said about the 2008 edition of the
NSDA Primm Valley Resorts Fall Nationals. With over 500 entries, this race
lived up to its annual billing and then some. Not that the competitors needed
any more motivation to win this huge annual event, but with NSDA Point Series
championships on the line the intensity level of the racing action was at an
all time high. Let’s take a look at what went down at the 2008 NSDA Primm
Valley Resorts Fall Nationals.
The month of October has been a tough one for the sand drag racing community.
Our community was hit with the loss of two major figures in our sport. We lost
Charlie Brown Sr. and Richard Montiel both within the month due to non-racing
related circumstances. The term “legend” tends to be overused in our society
these days, but these two personified this through their whole lives. Both were
great individuals as people and fierce competitors behind the wheel.
