i had a white 91 ws6 trans am but had a little miss hop with a tree with it and i miss her alot. i now have a black 95 firebird formula that i am building into my dragcar. my brother just brought a 88gta and we are going to be doing some things to it so he can could racing again. i am at kcir all the time i worked there in 2006 and have been going there sinces 1981
Hi guys, I am from columbia MO, not to terribly far from kc. Anybody here done friday night grudge at KCIR? I am planning on going friday, and am kind of curious how many runs a person can typically get.
hey bart, im not far from kcir, my car isnt quite ready for the strip yet. but i do plan on getting it out there this season. if iirc they open at 5:30 and start racing at 6 till 10:00, cause a bunch of idiots built houses next to a drag strip, then bitched about the noise!
so really its as many passes as u can fit into that time block and depending on how many show up, and how many leak or break.
Hey, thanks for the info, I am kind of curious of the typical turnout, but I guess that track cleanup could make it tough to get many passes even with a small turnout.
there should be a bunch of ltx's at the track friday because the ltx shootout is this saturday to i will be there in my 68 chevy pickup i maybe video taping on the track or some where near my truck friday
Does anybady know if they require mufflers for the friday fun drags? I would not think so, but being that it is in the evening I should ask to be sure.
damn it, i need a flex plate! otherwise id be out there tomorrow.
i need to dial in the carb and timing, the strip would be way better then getting pulled over on the street.
wtf, that blows a!
lemme guess, to much juice and not enough gasoline? or lots of comp+rpm, and alil detonation?
anyways what kinda times did the K.I.A engine run, before being... well being killed?
It ran 11.50s @ 121 with a 1.7 sixty foot. i think that it would have had an 11.20 if I could have hooked, but the track was terrible.
I do not know why it blew, I had over revved it a couple times, but nothing real serious. I think it was probably just from cheap piston, I had KB claimers in it. They are a low price piston, but I thought they would be fine for a low rpm pump gas 406, not so much!

Yeah, first night out on the new combo, oh well, it will be the last time that I try to save a little money on my bottom end, it gets old having to build new motors all the time!
i hear that. might as well do it right the first time, save more in the long run with not having to replace the block now.
i think ill save my nitrous for the next short block.
i finally took my car the track it ran a 14.1 @98mph. found out my tranny is junk.cant get her to shift into 3rd at full throttle. is anyone goin to the track this weekend
ya im gonna give her more pressre but im pretty sure its toast so ill have to rebuild it soon right now im havin issues with my serpintie belt walking forward and shreddig bout every 40 miles i think i need to shim my ac delete pully out. it didnt do it until i took all the serpintne apart and clean it

I go to MU in CoMo but I head down through Warrensburg cuz a lot of my friends went there from HS. I actually live south of Harrisonville if anyone knows where that is.
also this is just a big maybe, but one of my buddies is really good friends with a tuner and he may be buying the software and learning to tune from that guy. If he learns everything about it and actually gets the software here soon he said he would charge about 150 or so to tune for the first time then really cheap anytime you come back to him. Just throwing that out there he lives in Columbia, Mo and I will post a thread if he gets goin on it.
Check out speedtweakerz.com. It's this speedshop down here at the lake, they are really good at working with people and all of their prices are negotiable to a certain extent. They have a dyno there too and can do full tunes and all that fun stuff
