Editor's Notes | June '07
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.
WMSD Early Season Recap
West Michigan Sand Dragway (WMSD) opened their 2007 season with back-to-back weekend races on May 26 and June 2. Here is a class by class look at the action from both events.
Midwestern Scene | June '07
BY: MIKE ELLINGTONThere are two words to describe the first month of racing here in the Ohio / Indiana area; hot and dry. In past years it’s been very rare to get through the month of May without any races being rained out. In fact, I typically don’t even get motivated to hit the track until Memorial Day weekend because of the rain-outs. However, this year has been different. It’s been great to get the track early but it’s also been tough on the promoters due to the overall dry condition of the track. It’s nearly impossible to keep an adequate amount of water on the tracks and in the pits. Making a consistent track is difficult at best.

BY: ISAAC DEHAANAs I write this column it seems like forever since I put my last article together. As with most people around here, life gets exponentially busier as the snow goes away. It seems as though kids’ soccer games, yard clean up, getting the race car ready, and the start of a new racing season all seem to begin at the same time. Add to that the fact that my family and I moved into a new house over the last month, and it’s like there are not enough hours in the day to get everything done that needs to be done. It’s a time of transition for me, as we exchanged our smaller, country house with a pole barn for a larger, subdivision house with a 3 stall garage. It is still roomy enough for my stuff, but just a little bit different setting. Even though we were still getting settled, I did find time to prep the Bronco for the upcoming race season and even attend a couple of events already.
