I wanted to take a minute and just give everyone a quick update on some new things with the NDRA.
Starting at the race in Valdosta, GA. on April 29/30 we will have new trophies for the racers and car show competitors.

The new trophies were designed and built by Scott Miller and Nick Sidwell at BDL Industries for the NDRA and X-Box. Scott and Nick have built us an all billet aluminum trophy that is powder coated black, with a polished base.

The trophies range in size from 6”x 6” up to 12”x 12” for race winners or best of show winners.

Starting at the Valdosta event, teams will be the need to phone ahead or email me for pit parking assignments. This will go for both Pro and Sportsman racers. I will need to know class, trailer size/pit size, and how many cars competing out of your pit area. Trailers left overnight on Friday night that have not been parked by an NDRA official may be moved on Saturday morning.

Starting at the Valdosta event, Pro Tech will be open from 1pm to 6pm on Friday. If you want to have your car tech’d in at that time you will need to let us know when an NDRA staff member parks you.

If anyone has any questions on anything, you can contact me directly via telephone or email.

assigned parking is that like assigned seating. JK. Count us in for one good spot.

 

hmm...is it bad that i never know how im getting to a race, when im getting to a race, or what kind of car/truck/trailor im going to be using to get there? damnit, im ghetto

 

Hey Joe, reg trailer 20-30 ft? or larger?

I guess you could just drive there since it is a street car, huh?

 

I know that our guys want to park together but a bunch of us will be driving the cars in and maybe 1-2 on trailors. still have to call ahead?

 

Just depends on how much space you think you might need.

I have a little birdie north of the border, he says the Canadians are ready to rock and roll and take home those new trophies.

 

i think i can i think i can win a new trophie. i keep telling myself. sounds good glenn.

 

so thats why nobody at BDL ever answers the phone, theyre busy making stuff for you guys. lol

 

Can I trade "in" my trophy from Arizona....for the new and improved trophy?

 

What kind of lead time do you need for pit parking, never know exactly what we are bringing untill a week or so before. Nothing large jus ta dually and a 26ft traler and a truck and open trailer.

 

The pit spaces are fairly large, so I can put down for one that is about 35 feet. That should be ok shouldn't?

Shoot me an email on team name and cars and classes.

so does this mean we dont have to get to the track at the *** crack of the morning to get a good spot in the pits?

my car is nowhere remotely close to being almost ready to run..... so we will see if i can have it together in time?

 

That is what it means Joe.

What do you need, a 30' x 30'?

 

as of right now i need a 6 foot by 2 foot so i can sleep on the ground.....but that sounds about right if i get the car running i'll let you know how things go.

UPS made me very very happy this morning, so now i wont sleep for a few weeks. and i'll probably be blind with a suntan from my welder. haha

 

Joe, I will mark a spot for you, and if something happens, I will save you a covered area under our awning to sleep.

 

Maybe Joe can bring his car done or not, some shop equipment, parts and NDRA can provide Joe with power to run his equipment. That way you still use up the space given and you could open up a "Joe's pitside repair shop" for the weekend for racers in need? ha ha

 

if that is the case joe, can i make an appointment for "joe's pitside repair shop"That weekend. i am a good way from being done.

 

How about we pit Joe near someone with a huge generator? This way he will have power and lights. Now he will be able to work around the clock on his car and others.

Hey Joe, these guys might be on to something.

 

That is hilarious. That is exactly what we did in St. Louis last year. That is when Joe kicked his fender in.
