New tower going up at Mo-Kan

The home of the HAMB Drag Nationals.

It will be on the west side, further back, and will have a single VIP suite. Werst Construction (go ahead and make the jokes, my racers did) of Neosho, Missouri is doing the shell, and then the Mo-Kan crew will do the interior.


Here is a shot from the starting line that better shows the position.

 

Great to see......

Internal or External stairs?

Cheers,

Drewfus

 

External, definitely. Save all the interior we can. It is 16'x32'.

 

where do we get our Mokan t-shirts?
Shouldn't we be buying some to help fund the tower?

 

Carl , You can mean you are going to take down the old tower? What`s the place going to be like without it. Bill "G***erman"

 

Scooby, buy your shirt right here!

Might be a little low on the black, I'll check and post here.

Bill, won't be the same, but I think it is a question of tear it down before it falls down, We'll have some sort of party the night it comes down. Before that day comes, I'll gather up some photos and post of the old girls 46 year reign as queen of the 'Kan!

 

dayum Carl... lookin good... not to mention all the space its gonna open up in the pit area.

nice move, bold too. congrats

 

And you're getting the sun out of your eyes. Sweet.

 

Have you thought about an auction for the VIP suite?

If so, what would the VIP expect??? Fine chicks to wave palm leaf fans in his face and fetch cold sodas??

See you in August, -Abone.

 

Funny you should mention that Mr. Bone.

I hadn't thought about an auction for the suite, but I had thought about selling it for the HAMB Drags.

Once it is up and functional, we'll see how it goes, and then figure a price. Fine chicks, palm leaves and cold beverage optional.

 

Great news. Improvements are always a good thing.

 

That's awesome news, I love that place, spent most of my childhood in the pits there. Is Carl Blanton still running? "Keep on Smokin and Mokan"

 

How about a couple of hot rod chicks waving red bandanas with cookies?

 

Awesome

 

Wow, where do I sign up... Throw in some spam and woodford and I've just died and went to heaven.

 

Great news.........but the old tower had so much room inside it.......Here is a shot of the old tower from back in the day......

Yup

 

very cool Carl! Happy for you guys, see you in August.

 

The Werst crew finally got some weather and have been out working on the new tower. As you can see the second floor is in, the rafters and roof are on, the bottom floor concrete has been poured and the girts are going up for the siding.

 

That's going to be nice! You're not going to know what to do with all that space.

 

As of Friday the 7th, the Back side now has skin and doors!

 

So now you are gonna have to rename the lanes ,huh? No more tower side and spectator side.......

 

Looks great. Can't wait to see it in August!

 

Watch that first step off the top level!

 

That's gonna be easy Root, we will have spec and pit!

 

See now I am gonna hafta tell my wife she's right again..........dang it Carl.

 

Coool!!!

 

You Go Carl !!!
