Sadly I didn't make it to KK this year, but there are still a couple of weekends left. I live in Marquette, MI (Upper Peninsula) and WIR is the closest track (3+ hours).
My Dad (Pat DePetro) and his brother Ken used to race pro-stock drag bikes back from 1976-81-ish. I love hearing all of those old stories about the original S/S HEMI cars that were there and looking at some of the old school pictures from back in the day. I got one of a Sox and Martin 1970 HEMI 'Cuda by my dad siad he doubts it was an original.
I raced there quite a few times now. over the past four years, but I am not a regular. I started with our 1964 Ford F-100 truck that had a camaro front subframe and a vette 350 engine in it. We supercharged it and I raced it until we pounded it too hard. One night after 7-8 runs we were driving it back to the Comfort Suites in Appleton, WI and spun some bearings. It now uses a 1989 'LA" roller cam 360 with Mopar Performance R/T heads and an Air Gap intake for motovation. It seems to have about the same power as that old vette 350!
It's best time with the s/c'd 350 was a 14.0 at 95 mph which isn't too bad for a 3,800 lbs truck. We haven't run it with the 360..
I also raced my 1997 Probe GTS KL-ZE 2.5L all aluminum V6 5-speed there a few times. My times were rather poor as I couldn't get traction but it still managed a 14.8 at 96mph. With slicks this car would have gone high 13's.
We travel down that way pretty often as G.B. is the closest city to us. We were just there last weekend to take my kid to the new zoo and have a relaxation weekend. Good times! I saw a gold/copper color 1970 Plymouth Barracuda cruisin down the interstate (US-41) followed a few miles behind by a DeSoto 3-window coupe. Thos cars look funny with such a small bubble for a roof. There was also a nice 1972-74 red Barracuda with a white top/white stripe/white interior parked close to us at the Bay Park Square mall.
Chrysler World around Abrahms had a classic car show sign up the day we went through (Sep 15th) however it looked pretty empty when I drove by ~3:30pm.
Hopefully I'll see some of you guys around!
