Sand Scorpions start off spring with dune drag races
MOSES LAKE — Over the weekend local ATV/ORV enthusiast group the Sand Scorpions hosted an event out at the sand dunes called the Run What You Brung Sand Drags, a free off roading event where anyone with a capable machine or vehicle could come and race the dunes. Sand Scorpions member Brandon Douglass said as many as 1,000 people were either riding out on their vehicles or just there to enjoy watching others show off their toys. There were all sorts of different vehicles from trucks to side-by-sides and plenty of custom vehicles, he said.
