4th of July Weekend NMD Race Results

The Fourth of July weekend "Budweiser Challenge" took place Friday and Saturday nights at Northern Michigan Dragway.   A nice variety of names found their way to the late rounds each night.
Friday night's main event Bracket I winner was Randy Stoykovich of Manistee over runner-up Mike Stokes of Kaleva.  Calvin Lutz, III and Robby Girven of Bear Lake made it into the semi-finals. 

In Bracket II, Corey Mikus of Bear Lake defeated John "Hoot" Gibson of Charlevoix in the final round.  Trophy action found Gary Rank of Manistee victorious over Galyn Hoeft of Beulah.

Jr. Eliminator found Thompsonville siblings Bruce and Cheyenne Douglas doing battle, with Bruce taking the win Friday night and Cheyenne taking Saturday night's victory in best 3 of 5 matchups.

Saturday night's main even Bracket I found Bob Vandewater of Cadillac taking the win, with Stokes again taking runner-up.   Bear Lake racers again were semi-finalists, with Mikus and John Creel taking those honors.     Bracket II was captured by Phil Gunther of Beulah over Cody Guerne of Kaleva. 

The biggest class turnout was in the Saturday Early Gamblers, where Kevin Huntley of Beulah edged Russell Thompson of Middleville.   Saturday's Trophy final found the closest race of the weekend, with a .001 second margin-of-victory for Benzonia's Billy Bailey over Freeland's Ben Wenzel, Jr.

Memorial Weekend Race Results  

Racers from all over Michigan traveled to Northern Michigan Dragway Memorial 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 http://northernmichigandragway.net/pages/northern_results_may.htm
