BONNE TERRE, Mo. -- (May 14, 2005) Jeff Mills of Farmington was the top eliminator of the special charity event for the American Red Cross Saturday at Big River Sand Drags. The event, which featured racing mini vans on the 300-foot sand drag track, was just one of the special events planned at the track during the upcoming Summer months. Mills is the publisher of the Driver's Seat racing newspaper. He had finished in second place with track owner Christi Dickens of Bonne Terre taking first place, but it was Mills winning the top eliminator race.
"It's hard to believe you can have this much fun and raise money for charity at the same time," Mills said. "I want to thank Norman Zack and everyone here at Big River for making it all possible."
