NSDA Yuma Jan '08 Race Recap

Editor's Notes | Feb '08
It’s hard to believe, but the 2008 sand drag racing season is already underway. The season kicked off at NSDA’s season opener in Yuma, AZ a couple weeks ago. I don’t think anyone could have guessed beforehand what they would find in Yuma. What was there was an awesome facility, with a racing surface that had teeth unlike anything the west coast racers had ever seen as evidenced by the record shattering times. A top-notch race track with awesome accommodations at the near by Cocopah Casino and Resort brought somewhat of a Primm feel to the experience in Yuma. The racers who missed out are kicking themselves, and will be first in line ready to go at the next NSDA Yuma event in March. Midwestern Scene | Feb '08
Tom gave me a break last month as a holiday gift and in reality the sand drag world in this part of the country is obviously a little slow this time of year. So, it is a little difficult to find a good topic to write about. However, cabin fever is starting to set in on me and Tom’s great reporting from the NSDA opener in Yuma, AZ got me thinking that it was time to hit the shop and start getting the race cars ready for the impending season.
