Welcome to the June issue of National Sand Drag News. The focus of sand drag racing starts moving back eastward as the summer season approaches. Thunder Valley Sand Drags in Grain Valley, MO. hosts the BAD Nationals June 22-23. That is always a big event for the Top Alcohol racers from Missouri, Michigan, etc. Also in June is the Liberty, IN $10,000 bracket race on June 29-30. The next weekend (July 7) will be the annual Chassis Shop Shootout event at West Michigan Sand Dragway, which is an $800 to win payout for the Pro Index (3.49-Faster) class. These events coupled with a big event for the ATV racers, the ATV Bash at West Michigan Sand Dragway June 21-23, will make for a busy month of racing. Be sure to stick with us at NSDN for timely results and news from these big events.

Here are a few quick reminders for those readers out there. The classifieds section is available for all of those looking to buy/sell sand drag related race cars and parts. Simply read the disclaimer at the bottom of the classifieds section for terms and information on where to send the ad. Also, keep an eye on Photo of the Week.
