NSDN Daily Race Coverage - Ionia Show Me The Money Sept '08
Saturday
Final Update - "Show Me The Money" at Ionia Sand Drags has been won by Mother Nature. Check Ionia Sand Drags' web site for info on rescheduling.
Much to our disappointment, we must announce the cancellation
of the September race in San Jacinto.
Permitting for this race was completed and approved many weeks ago, however, it
has been brought to the attention of The California Game and Fish Department
there needs to be some testing done on the wildlife habitat before a sand drag
race can be held at the new location. NSDA is confident we can overcome this
obstacle and continue to push forward. We are discouraged by those who continue
to make it difficult in bringing racing into the Hemet
- San JacintoValley and hope those involved can look
at all the positive things the sand drag racers bring to the local community.
Again, we sincerely apologize for the many
inconveniences this has caused and look forward to seeing you all in Primm for
the largest sand drag event in the country. More information will be coming
soon on points and race format which will be modified for Primm to make up for
this hurdle we must overcome.
Respectfully,
NSDA

Sand Nationals Recap
The 16th Annual U.S. Sand Nationals at West Michigan
Sand Dragway was once again held on its last weekend of July date. Despite a
moderate car count, the Michigan
racers once again put on a thrilling show for the spectators. Let's take a look
at the weekend's winners.
The month of September is upon us, which means that
even though we are rapidly heading towards the end of the 2008 sand drag racing
season some of the season's biggest races are just ahead of us. We have to look
no further than the Inaugural event at Ionia Sand Drags in Ionia,
MI. This event looks to be the largest race of 2008 east of the Mississippi. NSDN will
be on site with all of the latest updates the weekend of September 12 and 13.
