Racing action was at its best on Sat. night with the Pro Mods in addition to our 2nd points series race. In the Pro Mod class, Final round regular Stan Smith was paired with the beautiful Pontiac of Mike Cooper. Cooper was first out of the gate, with both cars on and off the throttle Cooper was crowned the champ when both crossed the finish line at a 4.56 for a hole shot victory.
Super Pro was a battle of heavy weights Steve Beeny and James Kunkle. Beeny taking the easy win as Kunkle -.008 red lighted his chances away at back to back wins, but Beeny was wound tight and left with a .001 reaction time. The Pro class was summed up with another repeat final round contender Mike Winkle taking on the always tough Jon Maugins. Maugins was a solid .035 on the tree and left little room for Winkle to work with and broke out trying to make up the starting line difference. Sportsman was ran over by Fred Kaufman and Mark Johnson, as both were fully aware of the others ability to play the game, Fred took the easy road as Johnson lite the red bulb by -.006 and Fred left with a tight .013. The Junior dragster class was a family affair in the Cooper camp with Aaron taking the win over sister Julia. With a big starting line advantage to Aaron, he was able to play the game down track and not break out for the win.
As always we would like to thank you for your support, and we will see you at the races.

June 10, 2008

After a late start for the first points and heads up race due to the windy conditions that made our freshly prepped track look like a dirt road, the program was on its way in a hurry with little to no delays throughout the night. With 111 cars overall, the first official race was a success.
The night ended with Chuck Hines and his camaro in Super Pro taking top honors, over the always tough Dan Welch in his beautiful corvette. The Pro class was a battle of the pit buddys with James Kunkle in his mustang with a victory over Mike Winkle in the roadster due to a red light start. The Sportsman class was bulldozed through by Joe Novacek as he met last years sportsman champ Eric Warkentine in the final as Eric was gunning for BIG JOE and went red by a mere -.006 But Joe was ready to rumble as he was .037 and 1 over for the easy win.
The Junior Dragster final had a couple familiar faces as Trevor Ruge took the easy cruise to victory as a motor slowing Jacob Novacek was -.007 red and had a few in the bank as Jacobs car was slowing every round.
The heads up action was capped off with Cliff Akins with his bracket like camaro taking the win over a lifting Kurt Riffel in his chevelle in the Outlaw 10.5 class. The final in True 10.5 was a nail biter as Marty Chance narrowly drove around Keith Lopez mustang, with Lopez having a huge advantage out of the gate but the Chance Converters mustang was pouring on the power and took the stripe by 14 thousandths for the win. Keith hooked the golf cart trailer up to his 5.70s running mustang and drove home. How many of you can say that! In The Drag Radial class Hot Rod Dowell took full advantage in his mustang over rear end broken #1 qualifier Chris Nichols that could not make the final.
The Pro Mods took a vote and decided to postpone the class until the following week June 14th due to the high winds.
We are working as hard as we can to make K.I.D. a place that you can bring out the family for a safe and exciting night of great racing action close to home.
As always, thanks for coming out and we will see you at the races.

Due to the amount of rain of last night and the threat of more rain this morning, we are not going to be able to race today. There is water standing all over and would take hours to pump out and with the lack of grass it just makes everything worse. Everybody ask mother nature if she will let us play next weekend.

May 24, 2008
Mother nature let us run some last night but the rain came in about 12:30am and seemed like it came in buckets. A Flooded track with more rain in the forecast means that we are out of luck the rest of the weekend. Weather permitting we will be running next Friday Test and Tune and Sat. with some good racing action.

Saturday we will open the gates at 12:00pm for a test and tune and with a gamblers race. We are canceling the big bucks race since its our first weekend open and want to be able to run a race of that size efficiently. Our new schedule will be out this week as well.

May 7 , 2008
Mother Nature was not good to us this week for working and we did not get completed what was needed to run. We will redo the schedule in the next couple days and next weekend we will run, it might not be the Big Bucks race but we will let you know soon. Thank you for your Patience.

May 1 , 2008
We have run into some troubles on a few things that are keeping us from opening this weekend. The Simon's would rather hold off and make it right then push it and look like a circus. They would hope that everyone has the same feelings. We will keep you posted, as a result we will have another schedule change to look for. Thank you for understanding and we will see you soon at the races.

April 23, 2008
We are getting very close to having everything wrapped up and ready to race but we are missing a few key things that we will be working on this weekend. We are hoping that we can run a test and tune on Friday May 2nd. We will keep everyone posted. Check out the pics if you have not yet.

Just to let you know after negotiations with Wayne Roberts of WIR Inc. both sides have finally come to an agreement. We have purchased nearly everything but the concession trailer, timing system, and score boards. Unfortunately, we could not secure the name WIR in the buyout package. With a fresh new look must come a fresh new name that we will all be proud to represent.

The lease that was to end April 08 was also part of the package, therefore, we have complete possession of the track at 61st & Ridge Road as of today. That means no downtime for our renovations when we should be racing!!!!

We will be posting our progress on any and all updates and equipment purchases.

We are excited to get things going and look forward to seeing you at the track in 08.
