Nostalgia event at KCIR
1 Attachment(s)
The weekend of June 4rd, KCIR is hosting a nostalgia drag racing/show event. For many years, this event was held at the old St. Louis (Mid-America) track in Wentzville, MO, but they are not open this year, thus the event will be held in Kansas City. One of the arrtactions is the the "Kansas City Timing Asssociation" will be celebrating their 50th anniversary. Also, on Saturday evening, many of the cars will be cruising to the local Fuddruckers, and I have heard that the local police have agreed to allow cars to run open headers. Hum...
As you can see on the flyer, I will be there with the '68 funny car. Should be a lot of un. Who else is going? |
Re: Nostalgia event at KCIR
Looks like I be there. If you are looking at running down the track they have done a very nice job with it. Last year was the first year for the new 330' concrete launch pad and new asphalt out the back end. You do have to find your brakes or you could go into the creek on the back end! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif

I plan on attending, I have only dreamed of running on this track. Never knew it was still in operation, until I got a call from Harry K., who will have his Nova racecar there.
John will be coming with and will have his DHPC Demo SuperCamaro. Can't wait to see who gets a ride in it. I may need to call LaHarpe, maybe I can convince Herb, as I am sure he would have a good time. Let's see, so far I have ran at or been on Beardstown, St. Louis, WhiteHall, Wentzville, and now KCIR. What a great time this hobby has become. Maybe Keokuk, Alton, Detroit, Bristol, Lions, Greenvalley are next? |
Re: Nostalgia event at KCIR

Re: Nostalgia event at KCIR
Okay, next question. Who is going to be racing and who will be sitting in the car show on Saturday?
|
Re: Nostalgia event at KCIR
I will be sitting, however, I understand there will be a parade lap, and some exibition runs by Tom, myself, and I imagine others. I think there is a chance the Leatherman's may be there with their car? Wonder if Ray M. has heard about this? Ray, are you reading this?

Re: Nostalgia event at KCIR

Re: Nostalgia event at KCIR
I am getting the buggy all cleaned up tonight. I will take Momma and the Kid out for some Ice Cream so I can get some more of the 92 Octane stuff out of the tank to make room for some 111! Look for a bland, white Oldsmobile. Odds are you will find me there or helping Tom out! PM me if you want my cell. Look forward to seeing everyone. Hope there isn't any rain. We had a good shower on Wed and the humidity is climbing! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: Nostalgia event at KCIR
Good old Missouri weather, lots of humidity. Even though we need the rain bad, I hope it holds off until Sunday evening. Talked to the gal at the track and she said interest in the event was very strong. Should be a lot of fun, watching all of the vintage cars go at it. I myself will be running NITRO in the '68 car for the first time.

Re: Nostalgia event at KCIR
I suck! Live 10 minutes away from the track and couldn't get over there! My neighbor called up at 7:30 saying his basement was flooded. Spent to 11:30 pulling stuff out of his basement. Made it to the cruise that night, but missed the big party! Oh well, more ammo for staying both days at SCR8 this year! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif
