Toxie,
How far is the pit from the dragstrip? Maybe I can cut out of there some afternoon & get some fun shooting in between rounds.

My hubby thought there was one on the west side of the state so I did a quick Google and found http://www.sanddragway.com/slsd/, I have no clue where Mears is at. :scratch:

Still Hi-Jacking the thread......

Thanks....That is at the Silver Lake Sand Dune area. (One hour north of Muskegon).
Was over ther with my buggy last weekend for the dunes (not the drags).

Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.....

According to the map for the pit that was on someone's web page about a year ago the dragstrip is approx 2 miles South of where they shoot.

From a guy who shoots there quite a bit......

Roods Lake Rd. turns to dirt just north of the drag way. Once the road turns to dirt, the pit is just a hair under one mile north.

If I wasn't going to be out of town, I would show up with my stuff. Have fun Y'all.

Afternoons are bad. I might be out there somewhere on Sunday morning running a few loads over the chronograph. Depends on the sunlight.

Oh, and the name of the dealership is different. It was still a Chevy lot if I am remembering right.

Yeah, its a chevy/dodge dalership now I think. Mornings are allways bad for me!

Well, we got back and had fun. I got to bump fire my AK and my SPP. Met a handful of people out there and they were all freindly.

I was at the dragstrip on Saturday. The car count was quite low, and I could plainly hear the shooting during the many breaks in the action.
