Announcing the National Association of Diesel Motorsports

October 2007, The National Association of Diesel Motorsports (NADM) was founded with the purpose and vision of unifying and solidifying the diesel industry via sanctioned events and promotional support of all racing sanctioning bodies, organizations, clubs, manufacturers, vendors and individual enthusiasts. Principles involved are Dieter Lutz, Gene Mohney, Ron Knoch and David Dunbar. NADM will petition industry leaders in the diesel aftermarket for guidance insuring progressive growth, expansion, and prosperity for the industry’s future.

NADM has teamed with Citadel Benefits Group (CBG) to provide money saving benefits to all members of the association. Multiple levels of membership are available ranging from single enthusiast members to business members at the manufacturer level. All membership levels will enjoy industry first benefits. Details will be presented on our website, www.runnadm.com. Through the support and backing of names like American General Insurance, AIG, and Wells Fargo members will enjoy reduced insurance premiums and attractive financing packages. NADM is pleased and excited to offer these attractive benefits to all its members.

Motorsports promotions will culminate in the offering of NADM sanctioned events including diesel drag racing and sled pulls. In cooperation with existing diesel organizations, NADM will compliment the existing schedules and help coordinate a nation-wide diesel event schedule. This event calendar is open to all organizations seeking to advertise their events and will be hosted on the NADM website. Further goals include the support or sponsorship of events throughout the country via existing organizations. The goal of NADM is not to supply every diesel event in the country, but assist in promotion of diesel events on a national level.

Competitive class structures and rules for NADM sanctioned events are currently in process. Basic class structures will be available shortly with a comprehensive rule set quickly following. All efforts are being placed on embracing existing rule sets. Rule set goals are to promote safety, provide a competitive field that allows participants to easily compete in multiple organizations and support efforts to stabilize existing rule sets.

NADM will form an official “Advisory Panel” of the association. This panel will be composed of elected NADM members that will represent all areas of member interest. Nominations will begin with membership sign up and membership voting commences at a later date.

NADM is currently in negotiations with several companies to provide sponsorships and events. The 2008 season begins in partnership with Diesel World Magazine. Crude Drags 2 is scheduled for February 23rd at Fomoso Raceway near Bakersfield CA. Advertising has already begun via Diesel World Magazine. Look for new advertisements outlining the NADM added features to the event.

While many sponsors have extended support for the NADM, it is policy to announce only what we have signed contracts for:

NADM proudly announces South Bend Clutch as the first signed sponsor securing first official product: The Official Clutch of the NADM. The confidence placed upon South Bend Clutch and its products by competitors in the industry is overwhelming. NADM extends a special thanks to Peter of South Bend Clutch. The confidence he has shown in offering his support is greatly appreciated. Thank you South Bend Clutch.

NADM is also proud to announce DI Pricol has joined the association as the official gauge of NADM. We extend our thanks to Jennifer and DI Pricol for displaying confidence in the association by becoming the 2nd signed sponsor.

Other sponsors will be announced shortly.

NADM understands the importance of earning everyone’s business and support. The program developed these past few weeks illustrates clearly the commitment to success.

Lary:

Thanks for posting that buddy!! I had heard that this was "in the works" but did not know all of the details. Sounds like this will be a good addition to what is already out there. Looks like a good group of people are involved in it too.

I will let David or one of his partners respond directly to you on this but, if your read their objectives in the post above I don't feel that is their intention.
Two statements above reinforce that:

"NADM.......was founded with the purpose and vision of unifying and solidfying the diesel industry via sanctioned events and promotional support of all racing samnctioning bodies......................................."

Also,..........

"Further goals include the support or sponsorship of events throughout the country via EXISTING ORGANIZATIONS".................................... ..........

IMHO,.....this is something that is needed. DHRA in the past has not been "consistent and uniform" with many of their rules etc.
