[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]n the 1970's, countless people in America started a hobby that would prove too expensive for their own good. Hours were spent welding, assembling, and building dune buggies to race on local dunes, in sand pits, and sugarbowls. People all across America bought and modified dune buggies for their own weekend enjoyment, and at the peak of this trend a new sport developed. Sand Drag Racing was introduced to Southeast Missouri in 1983, and has provided hundreds of enjoyable weekends for countless fans and racing enthusiasts.
