KC's BRAND NEW TRACK is Born! ( Flying H Drag Strip )

Yes! It breaks my heart every time to see a dragstrip close!!! We need to keep our strong car culture alive!!!

I bet I have seen nearly 100 tracks close in the last 20ish years. Its saddening. Glad to see a new one open. GO SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL TRACKS FOLKS! Even the spectator and concession revenue makes a huge difference for these establishments. Go to the track this weekend and eat and drink a little something and watch some races.

[@chadbeaver9199]

Make sure that local track caters to locals then. I worked at one a few times, and they always worried more about the nhra than they did the locals.

[@danielwilson6665]

@@zethloveless7238 I couldn’t agree more strongly. I was starting to think that I was the only one that noticed the serious lack of attendance at local and national event venues. I first became aware of the situation when Covid restrictions were lifted. I just thought people were hesitant about going out in public at first. But now a few years later and nothing has changed. Drag racing has been a big part of my life as a participant and spectator for 58 years and hell yes the situation bothers me 🏁.

[@ruleroftheundersky570]

I finally have a local track to go to again. I spent quite a bit of my life as a kid at the KCIR in the 90's thanks to my father who used to race there. I heard about this track, but didn't realize it was open. Seeing this video has me more excited then I've ever been in a good while. Thank you for the content. You can bet your skippy ass I'll be going to this track and supporting it. I'll bring the whole family in fact. Now I can bring my kids to the track like my dad did with his. Literally brings tears to my eyes.

[@charliecharles-xw4ub]

Yeah, damn near broke my heart when KCIR was forced out by landowners who came along decades later knowing full well they were moving into a location where a long established race track operated. Some people suck. That's all I can say. Hopefully this new track will operate as long or longer than did KCIR. I first visited KCIR shortly after it opened in 1967. I attended IHRA, AHRA, and NHRA events there over the span of several decades. In the 70's and 80/s this was my home track for my A/Mod Nova. So many great memories were all but wiped out with the loss of this venue. So glad the folks out in Odessa built us locals a world-class track in our backyards. Hell, I might even get back into racing. Nothing big, mind you. More for the purpose of justifying visiting the track and hanging out again with grassroots racers.

Miss Atlanta Dragway, I still remember running my first 1/4 mile 24 years ago when I was in HS. Glad the stands are still in use at a new track.

[@Jefreeman13]

Never got a chance to run there, just right down the road in Athens too :/

[@oliverlarsen6768]

I really hope, (even though i live on the other side of the world pretty much) That this track has a long and successful future. It really bums me out hearing about all the tracks getting closed down due to real estate and such over there. Happy for the people running it, it is a beatiful facility!

[@drewjack5697]

Took my wife and boys to this race. Which ended up being their first time at a drag track. Took them to the oval track a few years ago too. Both facilities are great and we had a lot of fun. Boys were really into it and we stayed till the last race Saturday. Saw the 1320 Crew there and have been waiting for this video to drop!

[@elicopeland950]

Hopefully we can get cleetus to bring a cleetus and cars to flying H and maybe even do a danger ranger on dirt at i70 speedway! It’s the perfect facility to make it happen!

[@KarKamp]

I think it’s hilarious that I’m 90 minutes south of Kc & mildly into the street car/small tire community & I honestly didn’t have a fuggin clue about this track coming up in this area of time. I might have had heard something the end of last year or the beginning of the year but nothing lately!! So that just says something about promoting!!

[@gnd111]

Wouldnt your nearest track be Pittsburg KS? Im in FL and knew Odessa was getting a new track...

[@frequentuser360]

I'm an hour south of KC and did not know about this. And we don't have diddly for options out here. I'm 75 minutes from Oddessa, an 70 minutes from Topeka, 65 minutes from Humboldt (which I've never even been to) and 2.5 hours from Wichita. Middle of racing BFE!

[@holydiverSXT]

I raced on the half mile asphalt oval in a street stock 83 olds Cutlass, a 78 Monte Carlo, a 70 Monte Carlo from 96 to 02. Glad to see the facility is back.

Glad they got a new track. I raced on KCIR back in the late 70s. Got to see Big Daddy and Shirley Muldowney duke it out there.

As a local to Atlanta, I'm glad to see some part of the track live on.

[@incredifunk]

This is great. I grew up in that town In my whole family is from and live there. It was just a blight, for so many years It sat empty. Was a great dirt track in its day and then it got shut down and sat empty for I can't tell you how many years. And then the surrounding community fought against letting these guys do what they're doing now because the noise. But you see where it's at if you're there, they're not bothering anybody. And if it's bringing money to the town & the area, more power! I'm so excited and so happy they're finally finishing the project and they're having some world class racing going on out there. That's just great. I'll be out to check it out for sure. Especially now that they have the drag up and running!!! Not much of a circle track fan, unless it's dirt, but I'll certainly watch some quarter mile action... So awesome, so excited. Finally The old boys with the idea to bring it back are seeing the fruits of their labors.

Many thanks to 1320 Video. I still have VHS tapes like “Nighttime Fuel And Fire” from over 30 years ago in my collection. One of those grandstands has an imprint of my ass in it. I was sitting there at 8 am on the grand opening day of Atlanta Dragway in 1976. I was a participant and spectator until the closing in 2021. Demolition came quickly to make room for a foreign investor to build a EV battery manufacturing facility. WTF man ! This new QUARTER MILE venue in KC looks amazing. From all indications it’s totally first class and I hope to visit there soon. The last thing they need is an amateur clown act like Clitus to drag the place down to his substandard attempt at being a professional drag racer. Best of luck to Flying H 🇺🇸🏁.

[@bloodtypexneg]

So glad there is a drag strip in that area again. In high school (99-03), I would go to the Friday night drags at KCIR (torn down years ago), then cruise Noland Road after the races. So glad to see this new facility opened and I hope to visit it some day soon.

The spectator parking lot was still a dirt field, there were wasn’t any grass around the grandstands, all the food vendors were on the same mowed prairie grass areas, there was little to no fan amenities near the track! Friday night we found a motel that was straight outa the 1960s! Saturday night we drove all the way to Lawrence and there wasn’t a single room so we drove back to the track stopping on the way to get a twelve pack and some snacks then got an amazing parking spot then reclined the seats in my buddies ‘86 Monte SS and the next thing we knew it was morning!
