Still finalizing, board members at meetings only.
Things need to beyond my brand versus your brand, it should be all inclusive so it isn’t my club versus your club. I which you the best of luck! It is tough to get a happy majority in any group let alone a group competing against each other. :thankyou2:
would like to figure out how to get drag racing on similiar ground. Good luck Ken

I didn't know our group was competing against each other? So far at the meetings NADM has held everyone does have different opinions and that is what we welcome, we are looking for new ideas and methods for the sport.
Do we tend to favor the sponsors and competitors who support NADM and our efforts, naturally of course, they have put their time and money into the organization to further the sport.
Looking forward to a great season next year!
The competitors are the drivers / participants. Getting a group of them to agree on a set of rules has always been tough. Organizations should do their best to work together to get a standardized set of rules for the betterment of all. Looking at a big picture would make things better for everyone and hopefully reduce the number of overlapping events which would create better shows overall.
Building local level interest in diesel drag racing is what me and Brian B are running with right now. Ron and NADM jumped at the chance to help us bring diesel drag racing to our local area, which will hopefully translate to our local racers going to NADM events in the future. In a small way that was demonstrated at Rockingham this past year with local area guys going down to compete.
Oct 10th we'll be at it again. This year with the support from the GA boys and some of the faster NC boys, the local crowd will really get to see some fast trucks. We're also going try and offer new faces drag racing 101 and encourage everyone with a diesel truck to get out there and run. We're also hoping to offer people rides down the track in a prostreet or quick diesel truck so people will get a taste of what it's all about.
Good luck to NADM and hope the meetings go well. Still would like to see a joint meeting between the leadership of NHRDA and NADM maybe after the advisory meetiing at SEMA to iron out common ground and hopefully drag racing classes.
Except for getting rained out in the final hour, the Western Regionals of NHRDA went very well. There were many local trucks that participated in the open et class that were not NHRDA members or who were qualified for the Regional event. I like the idea of getting new folks some a ride in some fast trucks to see what it's like, but how would you ever get the tracks to sign off on the idea? The old ownership at Spokane didn't mind, you could have a passanger in a 10 sec truck if you wanted. Not that way anymore.
