Sorry to see that the NADM Drag Race at Rockingham Dragway, Rockingham, N.C. has upset you. When David Dunbar and his crew at NADM were trying to set this up a few months ago, he had asked many of us in our area here in eastern N.C. how many of us had attended or planned to attend the NHRDA Drag Race in Florida. I personally told him I didn't think hardly any had been at that event nor would they probably be attending this year with the fuel/economy the way it is. I personally want to thank David and his Crew @ NADM for setting this up and bringing an event close to our area. Both my Son (banshee) and myself plan on attending this event as well as a good portion of the eastern N.C. diesel crew including; Mike D., bones, triton, bbuchanan, McMopar, marine4life, UnrulyNFS, masonic_dodge, powerstroke113, cadash, zuki_dan, Buck Spruill just to name a few.
With that being said, I also have supported the NHRDA going to their event that Buck and Jess set up @ OBX. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate there, but IMHO, their Staff did a great job there on Friday night.
The only sanctioning body for diesel drag racing you will NOT see me support EVER again is DHRA! IMHO, the U.S. is big enough for us to have more than one sanctioning body to set-up diesel drag racing and I see it as no "slight or jab" at NHRDA by NADM by them setting this race up at Rockingham on August 9th.
Just my $.02......................................
