Friday

The 15th Annual U.S. Sand Nationals at West Michigan Sand Dragway is under way. Action on Thursday and Friday consisted of Test and Tune both day. Things started off slow on Thursday, but activity picked up as Friday wore on. Only one Top Fuel class car took to the track on Friday and it was track record holder Rob Schyett in his Bad Frog Dragster. Schyett had some problems on his run and only ran a 2.99/101mph. Stay tuned to NSDN the rest of the weekend for news and updates from this event.
