We finally had another week end of Racing with out rain !
Even with some big I.H.R.A. and N.H.R.A. events going on in surounding areas, there were still several of KD's Heavy Hitters out and in the competition along with a bunch of Spectators who had a really good time !!!
The Father & Son Team of " DONNIE SMITH RACING " were out to help liven up Friday Nights "RUN WHAT YOU BRUNG " - Tune up Event.....
Gumbert Racing with three generations of family members and their good looking little RED - Ford Mustang,,,along with several other family members and a boat load of their friends were there to help make the week ends competition exciting.......
Mike Hopper, owner of " HOPPER RACING " was back at KD once again . His stretched out, fiber glass bodied Ford Mustang was a big hit with the Spectators as well as making it really tough on all the other Racers in his Class......
Charlie Knisley - was out with his wheel standing " Maveric ". One things a FACT ----, With his hot Rod doing the wheel stands he was doing and carrying the front wheels the way he did,,,,, you could tell the track was a HOOKEN GOOD ......
Myers Racing was out ,, with that good looking Mopar of their's,,, making some of the quickest runs of the days Event....
Hope to see u-all real soon.................

Helping to get the Season going was Tim Mathis, driving his good looking Chevy Malibue.
With a Burn - Out that even John Force would be proud of,,,Tim got everyones attention and got rid of a few bugs as well with is Half Track Burn Out..
Another old friend of KD's that showed up was Mike Hopper, owner of Hopper Racing and his son Michael with a new ride they recently acquired, a good looking as well as very quick full fiber glass bodied Ford Mustang ..
It is always great to see Mike and any of his family at KD Dragway.
Surprise,,,,, Surprise ,,,,,Surprise,,,,,,I know I,,, wasn't exspecting this ,,, untill recently......BUT,,, the STRIPES of TOM CATIN RACING are GONE ....
Here's John Yeauger in his paint booth getting ready to put another coat of primer on the old Tom Cat Hot Rod.....
I know,, I'll miss the old Tiger Striped Paint,,, BUT,,, from what John and Kathy have told me what they've got in store for the new paint job,,,, I believe when they show up with the new look,,,, everyone will be highly PLEASED.....

Here's another shot of John and Kathy's Hot Rod I thought I'd share with u-all .

The High Point of the day for me is when the " Bracket One Racers " line up in the Stageing Lanes at KD DRAGWAY .
I think that a line up like this can compete with any Cruise-in at any hamburger joint that you might go to.
And " You Might Be A Red Neck "
iffun you enjoy this Web Site ........
And >> don't forget to sign our " Guest Book "
and let us know that you visited !
Name / State & or City Please !
Something new for this year >>>>
If you have a Special Photograph, Document or something such as a News Paper Article that you would like to preserve bring it in and for a minimal charge we'll laminate it for you and give it years of extended life.
Then >>
Git ready to Climb The Hill !
This Hill may look a little intimidating, but it has helped saved the bacon of several Racers over the years when a Brake Pedal has hit the floor board or a Chute didn't open !
With plenty of distance to get slowed down after the Finish Line, there's also the help from " Mother Nature " with a thing called " GRAVITY " going up the Hill !
Also, Rails well over the length of any Door Slammer and setting as low as 2 1/2 to 3 inches from the ground can get up - over - then back down the hill with out putting a scratch on the under side !
Now, that I've said all that, Come on out and
Come Climb The HILL !

Charlie Knisley's annuall Sale was a big success once again....
There was every thing from hot dogs to mag wheels for sale there....
There were also a lot of familiar faces there...
This was our second time being able to go to one of Charlies Sales ....
While there, my boys and I got to visit with several old friends that frequent KD DRAGWAY ...
Here were a couple of familiar faces at Charlies Sale....
Darrell Leadingham owner of KD DRAGWAY was conversing with a couple of KD's regualars - The Grizz Man and Donnie Smith Junior who had one of the winningest Seasons in 2011 by a Driver at KD in years and who had a set up at the sale. Donnie Smith Senior was out and about taking in the Sale and doing a little mingalling and shopping...........
We also got to spend a little time with our good friends John Yeauger and his wife Kathy , who were at the sale.....
Pat Mcfadden, owner and driver of the SHIFNOID RAIL could also be seen at the sale.......
Here's one of the Ring Leader of this event "CHARLIE KNISLEY ", doing his best to make a sale....
The 2011 Season seen some of the coolest and quickest Hot Rods around appearing at KD DRAGWAY .
This good looking Rail Dragster owned by David Betts, a long time competitor at KD is just a sample of what KD's Sectators got to see going down the track !
The long line of good looking and quick Door Slammers at KD also kept KD's Spectators attention as well !
From what I've been told over the off Season,,,from some of the Racers that come to KD,,, the 2012 Season should be full of excitement ! ! !
New, refreshed, and rebuilt Hot Rods,,, should make the new Season really interesting.......
And, there's other types of Races a person could go to, I guess,,,, BUT,,,, as I've said before,,,, iffun I wanted to watch something run in circles ,,,, I 'd chain my old hound dog up in the front yard......
