18.01.2022 The HVDRA Committee has made the difficult decision to cancel Nitro Up North for 2020. In the current climate combined with state border restrictions, we feel that we would not be able to put on the quality show that our spectators and racers have come to enjoy. This was not an easy decision to make and we are very saddened that we have not been able to produce a racing calendar for the 2020 season. We do however look forward to making it a massive one in 2021 and appreciate ...everyones continued support. HVDRA Committee
