Event Coverage does anybody know about salina drags?

heard rumors about an old airfield turned dragstrip out in salina ks. anybody know anything about when they run?

 

As far as I knowthe only time they run is when the KKOA is in town.
No lights no times just heads up racing

Dennis

 

Yes, exactly.

This year it is July 24-26. The heads up, flag-start drags are on that Friday night. Last year was a great time!

thanks guys! are 60's drag cars welcome?

 

I'd check with the event organizers first, but there were a couple pretty serious cars there last year.

This link should have contact info on it:

Here's a photo from last year... of a couple street cars.
One of the guys was learning how to launch his car and smoked his clutch

 

Be prepared to shut down it's only 8th mile. But malcolm is right It's the place to be...ghost

 

I guess would a 1965 altered wheel base dodge and a 1963 superstock dodge be welcome?

 

I personally would like to see and hear them be there, but as Malcolm said- you should discuss it with the event organizers to make sure.

Only one month away!

But you should also consider bringing them to MoKan for the HAMB Drags.

 

It's for fun, nothing serious.
No guard rails with folks sitting all along the dragstrip in their cars and chairs.

 

That looks/sounds like a lot of fun.

 

KKOA has no limit on year of cars at their events.Show up in a customized Ugo and you made the show.

 

ONE of the guys...??? WHICH one...surely NOT either of the two in the pic...???


And I'd bet it's NOT even an eighth of a mile...

You think not??? lol, guess ya should have been there.

 

I WAS...I haven't missed one since it was moved to Salina...

R-

 

I know you were there, I was teasing you.
Yep, "someone" smoked their clutch...... I can't remember if I put it in one of the videos or not. I might not have as I didn't want to embarass said party. But then again, I might have to embarass said party. Was almost a year ago and I can't rememebr.

 

Well, since HE won't confess...go ahead and embarrass him...you have my permission...

R-

 

OK, looks like one more reason to head to Salina!!!! cool see you guys in July ..hope the buzn half dozn doesnt scare any of ya away!!!!

 

Haha... it was ME! Funny what can happen around here with just one comment.

I put 3.70 rear gears in the car, so it launches much better now with the T5 and no hot, stinky clutch!

Cool! I'll look forward to seeing your new paint in person...

 

Hey Malc...ya know, what happens on the HAMB, stays on the HAMB...(and anywhere else we can get away with it...!!!

It was great when the dragster was FINALLY about to go, some Douche with a super duty and a car hauler pulled in at the wrong end and proceeded to park right in front of the 200 people on the east side.

then they unload the race prepped drag car, and fired up the mega bucks hemi, only for the oil pump to grenade. back on the trailer and split. Real nice people. Got a little CARma.
