Statement from the Nova Scotia Drag Racers Association
After thoughtful consideration NSDRA has determined that it will not be opening Greenfield Dragway this season. Many factors go into this decision but there are two major concerns leading to this conclusion.
• Greenfield Dragway relies heavily on its volunteers to execute an event. We have many that are still not comfortable with larger gathering and personal contact. The directors completely understand and would never put our volunteers in that situation.
• The financial risk. As an association we have limited funds. We cannot risk the future well-being of our track by forcing a few mediocre events in 2020. Many competition vehicles have been parked for the season so a small number of entries is very possible. Couple this with a “No Spectator” model and the opportunity for revenue is very limited.
The directors of NSDRA are racers also, so we want to be on-track competing, and in the pits socializing with our racing friends and family as much as anyone. This is a tough decision to make but it is a decision made with rational thought and not from emotion.
We sincerely wish all racers, sponsors, volunteers, supporters and their respective families good health and safety. Please enjoy a summer with your family and friends and maybe even cross a few things off the honey-do list. We look forward to strong rebound for local drag racing in 2021!
Take care,
The Directors of NSDRA
There will be a General Meeting of the NSDRA, it will be held at the Best Western Plus in Bridgewater (#527 Highway #10) (Meeting room to be determined) on November 2, 2019. The meeting will begin at 1:00 pm.
We will be reviewing the 2019 season and making plans for the 2020 season.
Members wishing to pay their 2020 memberships will be able to do so before the meeting starts. New members wishing to join may do so at the same time. People will be available starting around 12:45 pm or after the conclusion of the meeting for those wishing to pay their dues.
Please spread the word around about the meeting.
