As I am sure some of you know what has happened but, I am sending this message out anyways. Last week my Dad passed away from a massive heart attack. It was sudden, but he went in peace. Our family has been dealing with post passing issues to date and this is the first opportunity we have had to share information about what comes next. There will be no formal services, but you can leave a message to him or anyone in the family, share a funny story, a picture or anything else... you see fit at the mortuary link listed below. Please feel free pass this information along to anyone I might have missed, as it is so hard to think of everything and everyone at this time. My Dad had relationships with all of you that were meaningful in his life. https://www.miller-jones.com/obituari/Michael-Williams-90/ Michael Williams - View Obituary & Service Information Michael Williams - View Obituary & Service Information Share Memories and Support the Family.

Our condolences go out to the Williams Family. SCSDA has lost another family member with the passing of Mike Williams Sr. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. We will miss him and his smile dearly! #socalsanddrags #scsda #sanddrags

After considerable consideration, SCSDA has decided to pull the plug on the final race of 2020 Season. To be fair to all of our family of racers both near and far we have made this decision. There is just so much uncertainty to try and complete an event. We are sadden by this decision; nobody wants to race more than us. Thank you for supporting SCSDA and stay well. #socalsanddrags #scsda #sanddrags

Happy 4th of July! We challenge you to make more noise than this. #scsda #socalsanddrags #mint400sanddragdisplay #4thofjuly #independenceday #starsandstripes

Obituary for Patrick Parkhurst The World Famous Patrick Parkhurst, of Hemet, California passed away Saturday May 30, 2020 at his residence after a long battle... with cancer. Pat was surrounded by his daughter and long time family friends. He was born Friday, May 14, 1948 in Fargo North Dakota and was the son of the late Doris and Robert Parkhurst (Parkhurst Jewelers). Pat lived in the Hemet valley for nearly 70 years. Pat had been retired for quite some time from field planning due to his battle with cancer, but that didn't keep him down. He’d meet the boys for breakfast every morning, work on his hot rods when he wanted, attend car shows, take the grandkids camping, and didn’t miss any of their events. Pat was an amazing dad, Papa, friend, and enjoyed life to its fullest. His sense of humor, quick wit, positive outlook on life, and energy could make anyone smile. Pat had some pretty amazing hobbies throughout the years, few people can say they've done it all. From owning his own businesses; the Winchester Store, Feed Store, and Snap On Tools just to name a few. Racing and the need for speed was in his Pats blood! How many can say they've owned and drove a race car! He did! This eventually led him to becoming crew chief to other cars, top fuel cars, and Indy cars. Pat was involved in the Hemet Jeep Club, Lions Club, National Sand Drag Association, NHRA, Channel Islands Yacht Club, Leakers Car Club, and anything else that piqued his interest. Pat is survived by: Daughters, Kelly Magri (Ravin and Tanner); Angela Jensen (Kenzie, Gage, Piper, Bella); Brother, Mike Parkurst; and his precious dog Hot Rod. A service followed by a celebration of life will be held at the following location, come and celebrate Pat’s life with us, drive your hot rod if you have one! 1:00pm Wednesday July 8, 2020, at 506 Almarie Way Hemet, Ca. 92544 In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be sent to the City Of Hope Medical Foundation, 1500 East Duarte Rd., Duarte, Ca. 91010 in the name of Pat Parkurst

Tristan Graham’s new and improved Triple Threat Family Racing AA/ Buggy.

More to follow on Pat's celebration of life.

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we sadly share the news of Pat Parkhurst passing away over the weekend. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. #socalsanddrags #scsda #sanddrags

We're sad things aren't back to normal quite yet, but we know when we can race again that everyone will come out strong. Speaking of which look what Aaron Smith is cooking up!

We would like to regrettably inform our racers and fans that we have been forced to cancel the Creo Industries Summer Showdown due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and surrounding shutdowns associated with this crisis. The So Cal Sand Drag Association apologizes to everyone that was looking forward to attending and we hope that you can make it to our final event of the year October 2nd-4th. The sand drag community will stand strong during these times and we hope that when we are allowed to race again we will see support like never before. Until we race again - The SCSDA Team
