lead.jpgThe 2009 NSDA Dan Chittenden Fall Nationals in Primm, NV was one of the biggest races of the 2009 sand drag racing season with some of the most dramatic moments seen all season. Much like the PTN series finale, the NSDA’s feature class “Top Fuel” came down to the final run of the season to decide the point series championship. Let’s take a look at some photos covering top stories from the weekend courtesy of our friends at Lone Star Graphics that did an amazing job shooting event photos, http://www.lonestargraphics.com.


Scott Whipple won the 2009 NSDA TF Championship on the final pass of the season and also set a new TF World Record with a 2.239 second blast eclipsing the previous mark of 2.284 held by Geoff Gill.
