The Summit Racing Equipment Midwest Drag Racing Series returned to western Michigan last weekend under glorious early September skies as part of the US 131 Motorsports Park Honor Credit Union Funny Car Nationals. A mix of 1st-time finalists and winners, as well as a couple of usual visitors, highlighted this excellent event. Here are some photo highlights by Dave Oakes
