Gates will open at 6:00 and we will run til 11:00 or so.

We will have 3 diesel classes with a current total of $4000 in purse to be paid out.

We may have some vendors set-up there, and I will update with that too when available.

Unlimited Street points leader Phil Taylor will be on hand trying to widen his lead over Philip Palmer. Drivers Jeff Garmon, Kevin Meredith and Russell Hilton are in easy striking range too.

Quick Diesel will have a points shake up too. Only 90 points separate leader Matt Wells and 5th place competitor Jim Layden.

ET Bracket not to be outdone is only an 85 point spread between leader Kevin Meredith and 5th place Matt Bergantino.

Ya gotta love competition...
---------------------------------------
David:

Thanks for the update!

We are all looking forward to this event.

Yeah baby!! Sounds like its gonna be fun. I've not made it to an event since MATR back in April so I'm really excited about this one. Gonna bring all the vid cam gear to hopefully make another good video.

And thanks to Brian for the sponsorship.

A convoy will be great as long as John P has a trailer behind his truck so I can keep up. I've made that trip with John and Johner twice and it is some kind of entertainment. Everyone needs to make a 4 hour trip with the Porterfields. GOT TO LOVE THEM

I've stayed at Comfort Inn and Holiday Inn Express, both are nice. Comfort Inn/Suites seems to have a little more secure/lighted parking lot if that matters, but they do cost more.

"August 9 NADM Test/Tune Drag Race
Rockingham Dragway, NC
Arrive 5pm - run til done! Call Dave Dunbar for Info"

By test/tune, do they mean that in the traditional sense as in bring your rig and run it a few times, or is it for racers only? Or will there be an actual sanctioned race?
I'm a bit confused. Either way, I'll have to come and meet some actual diesel guys.

Test n tune is going on in between races. So they'll call up the NADM racers every few minutes. Once those guys run, the test n tuners get to go until the NADM calls for staging again.

Hope to see you there. You won't regret it even if you just watch. I've been hooked since my first event.

Last time I went to TnT at The Rock, it was 10 to get in and 20 for car and driver. Not sure what NADM bracket fees will be.
