The 2011 sand drag racing season has continued on
through the center of the season and is now heading into the late season grind
with several big events ahead of us. NSDN will be wrapping up the 2011 Daily
Race Coverage schedule with a couple of trips to the west coast. The first one
will be for the October Showdown at Dome Valley Raceway in Wellton, AZ
on September 30-October 1. This Friday-Saturday night race is really shaping up
to be a good one with most of the west coast hitters already committed to this
event. Rounding out our season will be the Paddles & Pumpkins Southern
California Sand Drag Associaion event at the Soboba Casino in San Jacinto, CA
October 21-23. This is also the Season Finale for the 2011 NSRA point series,
so it should be fun watching the point series contenders battle it out for the
championships. We are also looking forward to getting reports from the big
races at Avenal Sand Drags in Avenal, CA & Thunder Valley Sand Drags in Grain Valley, MO
on the weekend of September 16-18.
