Well, it is
that time of year again. Christmas is just a few days away, and I have about 2
feet of snow in my yard with only slightly less in my driveway!! Seriously,
sand drags are about as far from my mind as it ever is. It’s bad cold outside,
and summer seems like it is light years away. That being said, I thought I
would go over some of the important and noteworthy things from this past sand
drag season. These are presented in no particular order, and just my personal
observations, as usual.

Sold Out Productions is sad to inform racers and
fans that due to unforeseen circumstances, Sold Out Productions has cancelled
all 4 races at Dome Valley Raceway for the 2009 racing season. I personally
apologize for any inconvenience this has caused to the racers, fans, and media.
Unfortunately a disagreement was unable to be resolved, and therefore this
decision was made with much regret. We wish Ernie and Dome Valley Raceway the
best of luck with there race track, and truly enjoyed the Arizona Shootout in
2008. Sold Out Productions will of course resurface, and hopes to promote
future sand drag racing events in the future at another venue.

It’s hard to believe that the 2008 sand drag racing season has come to an end.
It seems like just yesterday that NSDN was heading to Yuma for the Season Opener in January. It’s
amazing how time flies when you are having fun. The 2008 season saw NSDN
provide our on-site Daily Race Coverage at nine events in five states. It was a
long, fun ride all year long, and it’s time to thank those that helped make it
possible.
