Just a quick thank you to your staff. We pulled down there Friday evening from Dodge and made some laps in my 62 Chevy II that I just bought from Dave from Wichita's Drag Strip.
Your gate girls must have taken PR lessons as they were sweet and very helpful.
Next went to tech and got my car checked out and got some good info. Tech guy was helpful and got thru that in quick time.
Made my first pass in a full blown race car the other night. I had drag raced back in the late 60s and early 70's but never did a burnout or staged like this. This was the first pass in my race car with the lights and wow what a rush.
Screwed up and rolled thru the beams once while jacking with the transbrake finger slipped off the button.
So I went from high 12's to 11.44 116mph and I know there is another second there as I was forgetting to shift into 3rd and let it bang on the rev limiter for a full second. ROOKIE!!
Anyway had a blast and will be back as soon as I can.
Thanks again! Ed Beckley Dodge City, Kansas

glad to hear you had such a good time! The people that volunteer at SRCA have always been super nice ever since I started racing out here in high school. Couldn't ask for anything better, for not getting paid they sure do put out the effort to make everyone happy. Thanks guys.

I have to agree with you also!
Some of the best folks I've ever met are right at SRCA Dragstrip, bar none.
Looking forward to our next visit.
