SCSDA Soboba May '16 Race Recap

2016-06-22T01:17:08+00:00

The Southern California Sand Drag Association (SCSDA) returned to action in late May with the “Mayhem at Soboba” event. This would be the second event of the 2016 season held at the Soboba Casino in San Jacinto, CA. Luckily for all in attendance, the weather was picture perfect all weekend long with uncharacteristically comfortable high temps in the mid 70’s when temps in the 90’s are average for that time of the year in Southern California. The great weather coupled with the Soboba dirt working better than ever led to some great ET’s and side-by-side racing.
