- Thread starter Chevy1925
- Start date
ATTENTION!!
DESERT DIESEL
NATIONALS
The NHRDA has been informed that Speedworld Dragstrip has not secured the temporary permits that would allow them to stay open until the end of May. Speedworld is still trying to secure these permits in time to save the rest of their season but the NHRDA has given the track until February 6th to secure the necessary temporary permits for the Desert Diesel Nationals.
The NHRDA is looking at every available option to secure the running of the 6th Annual Desert Diesel Nationals. The NHRDA is talking with other tracks, trying to come up with a back-up plan for this event.
"We are very disappointed in how things have turned around in the last 2 weeks. Speedworld gave us their word that they would be able to secure the temporary permits that the county would require for the event. We are doing our best to find a plan B for the Desert Diesel Nationals as this is the 2013 MBRP Diesel Drag Racing Series season opener." said Randy Cole, "We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused to the racers, fans and sponsors but this is totally out of our hands. We have given Speedworld Dragstrip until February 6th to come up with the permits and to show us the permits."
The NHRDA will pass along info as soon as it becomes available. We want to make sure that the racers, fans and sponsors all get the correct info. Make sure to check www.nhrda.com and

Bakersfield has something going that date and Sacramento wants way too much money for their track, like 15K for the day. NHRDA held a race in Tucson once before.
$15,000 where are you getting that from.
Last time I checked it was $5000 to rent sac and $10,000 to rent Infineon.
Were were just about to send $ to sponsor glad we held off. Wonder if refunds will be given?
What a mess
What a mess
