National Sand Drag News - National Sand Drag News | The #1 Source For Sand Drag Racing News | www.NationalSandDragNews.com National Sand Drag News (NSDN) is an online magazine covering the sport of sand drag racing. NSDN’s full array of up to the minute news and race coverage can be found online at www.NationalSandDragNews.com. Here is a brief explanation of what NSDN covers. The fast growing motor sport of sand drag racing consists of race cars that are very similar to their asphalt drag racing counterparts racing down 300 feet long (100 yard) tracks with a sand/dirt surface. The headliners of the show are the Nitro-burning Top Fuel dragsters that cross the finish line in under 2.5 seconds and reach speeds in excess of 160 MPH. Although the Top Fuel cars are the headliners of the show, multitudes of grass roots bracket racers compile the largest racer group in the sand. NSDN focuses on the hottest properties in sand drag racing, including coverage of the Pro Truck Nationals (PTN) series and other large independent events. Other large independent races across the country are also covered. NSDN covers these events with live race updates, race results, news, features, race videos, and photos. https://nsdn.us/index.php 2024-04-29T15:46:15+00:00 National Sand Drag News editor@nsdn.us Joomla! - Open Source Content Management Lemoore May '18 Event Info 2018-04-30T03:02:14+00:00 2018-04-30T03:02:14+00:00 https://nsdn.us/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1006&catid=145&Itemid=61 Administrator editor@nsdn.us <img alt="" src="https://nsdn.us/images/stories/issue4-18/LemooreRace2Lead.jpg" style="width: 250px; height: 83px; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; float: right;" />T-Zone Promotions Lemoore Raceway is preparing for Race 2 of their 2018 Sand Drag series in Lemoore, California on May 4-5.

The Top Alcohol category featured the quickest cars on the property at this event, and some of the closest racing. In the final round, it would be Jake Morton pulling off a hole shot win recording a 2.48 to defeat Jim Hammond&rsquo;s Low ET of the weekend 2.43. The Top Eliminator 2.95 Index class saw much of the same with incredibly close races all day long. Vickie Hall would score her second TE win of the season with an incredible performance recording 8 runs between 2.953-2.998 over the course of the event. In the Pro Bracket classes, Tommy Zavala was the huge story as he scored a double-up victory on Sunday defeating Kenny Hayes in the Pro 1 final before edging out Chris Helmuth to take the Pro 2 victory. Another great story on Sunday was Justin Adamson loaning his &ldquo;Raped Ape&rdquo; Jeep to his dad Chris to stay in points contention after the &ldquo;Bounty Hunter&rdquo; Jeep broke on Friday. Chris showed how solid of a racer he is as he put the borrowed ride in the Pro 3 Winner&rsquo;s Circle defeating Jimmy Depasse in the final round. Taylor Marchant made it back-to-back Final Rounds in the Motorcycle Pro 1 class, but this time he emerged victorious defeating Blake Maness in the final round. The Motorcycle Pro 2 final saw Caleb Mings take home top honors on his 3-wheeler defeating Marcus Riedel. Junior class winners on Sunday were Hayden Brayntor (Juniors), Cruz Liston (Junior Dragster) and Sky Chaffin (Youth). <strong>**Run Sheets are now posted.**</strong><br /> <br /> <center> <img alt="" src="https://nsdn.us/images/stories/issue4-18/sameday-avenalapr18.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 63px; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;" /><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial"><b>Presented By:</b></span><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.avenalsanddrags.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Avenal Sand Drags Logo" src="http://www.nationalsanddragnews.com/images/stories/issue4-14/avlogo.jpg" style="border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); width: 172px; height: 118px;" title="rialtotrophylogo.png" /></a> <a href="http://www.nsdn.us/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=798"><img alt="" src="http://www.nationalsanddragnews.com/images/banners/redwarriorad.jpg" style="width: 172px; height: 118px; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;" /></a><br /> <a href="http://www.GoodVibesRacing.com" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://www.nationalsanddragnews.com/images/banners/goodvibes17lead.jpg" style="width: 260px; height: 154px;" /></a></center> <br /> <strong>Sunday<br /> <br /> </strong>Sunday Race Day was filled with incredible action all day long as the winners were crowned at the 2018 Avenal Sand Drags Spring Nationals in Avenal, CA.

Unseasonably cool temps greeted racers and fans alike, making for great horsepower weather. The increased horsepower, plus the addition of several truckloads of clay into the track surface led to one of the quickest &amp; fastest weekends of 300&rsquo; sand drag racing we have seen in some time. Keep in mind this was Race 1 of the 5 race California Sand Drag Challenge points series, consisting of the three SCSDA events and two at Avenal Sand Drags. This is going to be a fun series to follow all season and several racers got off to a fast start.<br /> <br /> <img alt="" src="https://nsdn.us/images/stories/issue3-18/gallery-sjfeb18/116.jpg" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; width: 251px; height: 163px; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; float: right;" />The Southern California Sand Drag Association (SCSDA) kicked off their 2018 season in late February at the Soboba Casino in San Jacinto, CA.
