National Association for Legalized Street Racing Announces 2011 Event Schedule
North Hollywood, CA, February 11, 2011 – The National Association for Legalized Street Racing (NALSR) has announced their schedule for the inaugural season beginning in the spring of 2011.
The 2011 schedule consists of five events beginning on May 14th at San Antonio Raceway in San Antonio, Texas. The additional NALSR events include; June 10th at Houston Motorsports Park in Houston, Texas, July 30th at Rockingham Dragway in Rockingham, North Carolina, August 27th at Virginia Motorsports Park in Petersburg, Virginia and September 2nd at Dallas Raceway in Dallas, Texas.
NALSR Founder and President Jeremy J. Ford said, “We are pleased to announce the 2011 NALSR schedule of events and are excited about working with our partner tracks in producing professional events for the competitors, the fans and our sponsors. The tracks that we have as partners share the same mission as NALSR in getting the street racers off the street and onto the track. Many tracks across the country feature some level of street racing program but NALSR is the only series that provides a national platform for the competitors. The NALSR events will compliment what the tracks are already doing and gives street racers the opportunity to showcase their cars and their driving skills. For the first time ever, street racers will be able to see how they match up with other street racers on a national level.”
The tracks across the country that have partnered with NALSR for the inaugural season view the partnership as an excellent opportunity to make a positive impact on illegal street racing in their communities. Rockingham Dragway Owner Steve Earwood said, “Illegal street racing unfortunately has become more common with the resurgence of American-Made Muscle Cars and the advent of the performance Import/Sport Compact scene. We at Rockingham Dragway encourage our youths with these performance cars and motorcycles to do their racing at our facility where it is safe, insured and supervised. We are honored to have been selected by the National Association for Legal Street Racing to host one of their events this season.” And Freddy Cruz at San Antonio Raceway said, I would also like to say that we at San Antonio raceway are very excited to be working with NALSR and help in anyway we can to get national recognition for our racers and to support continued efforts to keep racers off the streets.”
The racers will compete for cash and prizes that will be awarded in multiple classes. The NALSR events will also feature an entertaining fan experience with several off track activities including a car show, music, interactive games and contests, and a display area with vendors and sponsors. “Our goal is to produce events that cater to the street racer lifestyle. We want to create an environment that is exciting, fun and safe for the competitors and the fans. We are very excited about the future of legalized street racing and the inaugural season for NALSR in 2011.” said Ford.
