Memorial Day Weekend Race Results from NMD
Kaleva-
Racers from all over Michigan traveled to Northern Michigan Dragway this past weekend, braving the tough fuel costs. Entrants were from as far away as Sturgis, Clawson, Middleville and East Jordan.
However, the two biggest winners for the weekend had the shortest tow distance in getting to the track. Saturday night's main event winner was Corey Mikus, who lives just a couple hundred yards west of the dragway entrance. Then, Sunday night's top earner was Mike Stokes, who lives about the same distance east of the dragway on the same road.
Traveling expenses apparently weren't a concern for either racer, which may have been a big help for them. Other racers doing well this weekend included Kevin Huntley from Beulah, who had a runner-up finish in the main event, and a Gamblers race win Saturday night, and a semifinal finish in the main event Sunday. Bob Vandewater of Cadillac also made it to the semifinals both nights, with a runner-up finish to Stokes on Sunday night.
Bear Lake racers Cody Guerne, Travis Milliman, Cole Verrett, Anthony Thomas and Robby Girven all posted victories in different classes. John "Tater" Tatreau of Kaleva, and Gary Rank of Manistee were also victorious.
Several classes were in competition over the two-day weekend, and full results are available on
www.northernmichigandragway.net .
This coming weekend's "After-Hours Street Drags" will take place Friday night at 8 p.m. with time trials and grudge racing until midnight. This event with the low admission fee of $5 race or watch will be sure to bring in an excellent crowd. The popular "smokey burnout contest" will be scheduled for 10:00 p.m.
