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

    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!

    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 :rolleyes:

    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.

    I know you were there, I was teasing you. ;)
    Yep, "someone" smoked their clutch......:rolleyes: 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. :D Was almost a year ago and I can't rememebr.

    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...

    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.
