Do you like car racing? Welcome to the New Orleans Racing Drivers Association - it's not just for
New Orleans racers any more though - if you live anywhere near New Orleans, you will want to visit NORDA to find out what
is happening at No Problem Raceway Park and with clubs in the area.
Did you know that between 1958 and June,
2001, there was not one road racing facility between the Texas World Speedway in College Station, Texas and Road Atlanta in
Gainesville, Georgia?
Pat Joffrion and Phil Acosta have built the 1.8 mile Grand Bayou Circuit for kart,
car and motorcycle road racing and added it to one of the nation's newest and finest state-of-the-art dragstrip
known as the NO PROBLEM RACEWAY PARK. We call it NPR or simply "No Problem". In late
April, 2004 the first annual Cajun SportsNationals were held hosting 17,000 spectators and 600 plus racecars.
That's
why we created the NORDA NEWS and the NORDA WEBSITE. Now being sent to over five hundred
racers in our area, the NORDA NEWS goes out every week to drag racers, road racers, motorcycle racers, kart racers - and the
website welcomes all, here, and at our Thursday luncheons. Stay posted with the NORDA NEWS! Simply send an email to
mshalett@attglobal.net and you have joined!

There are other area and national organizations, each with a specific purpose or goal. NORDA is the local gathering and news
place. NORDA's objectives are simple - we believe in the future of motorsports in South Louisiana. By building an effective
cross-sport group, we intend to rapidly network to get our message out to a larger audience of people who will support motorsports
at the grassroots and at the corporate and public level. Besides, if you are a racer, you'll enjoy it!
Put yourself in the picture! Join NORDA. Subscribe to the NORDA NEWS. And, please, we welcome comments,
ideas and volunteers.
