Just in time for Christmas, here is the final
installment of the 2011 Best Runs series. I would like to thank all of the race
tracks & organizations that either submitted or allowed us to track the
numbers from their race events. In 2011, the Fuelers were thundering all season
putting on great shows at each event. The field was wide open most of the
season and led to some awesome racing. Let’s take a look at the Best Runs for

we take a look at the season that was in the Top Eliminator category. The goal
in this class is to run 2.950 exactly. Racers across the country enjoy the
competition in this category, and it makes for some great wheel-to-wheel
racing. Let’s take a look at who ran the closest to the 2.950 target in 2011.Best Runs 2011: Pro Outlaw FE
It is that time of the year once again; as we go
through the Best Runs of the 2011 sand drag racing season. Since NSDN has the
data from most major events across the country; we are compiling the quickest
ET’s in the Top Fuel, Top Alcohol, Fast Fours, and Pro Outlaw FE classes as
well as the closest to the Index runs in Top Eliminator. The data used is from
events that NSDN either attended or data was submitted to us. Let’s kick off
the countdown with the Pro Outlaw FE category this year.The Pro Outlaw FE class really came into its own in the 2011 sand drag racing season. Not only did the PTN series in the Midwest run this class, but the west coast adopted the same type of class at their events. The bar was raised in the ET department throughout the country in this wildly popular Front Engine category. Let’s take a look at the Best Runs of 2011 in Pro Outlaw FE.

Editor's Notes | December '11
As we round the corner into December, it is hard to believe that it is already
time to wrap up the 2011 sand drag racing season. This being the fifth season
of sand drag racing coverage for National Sand Drag News saw us cover nine
Daily Race Coverage events as well as post up results and news from countless
other events all across the country. I’m very thankful for all of the folks
that contribute to NSDN in one way or another. It is great to see so many folks
across the country passionate about the sport of sand drag racing. Dome Valley ATV Shootout Nov '11 Race Recap
Dome Valley Raceway played host to an ATV event

Central California, Las Vegas, and even Puerto Rico show up to compete. Our friend Ruben
Rodriguez of Crazy Photo Squad was on hand to take shots at this event. Let’s
go through Ruben’s photos and recap this event.
