KCIR Track Day Kansas City, Overland Park, Olathe, Lee Summit and Surrounding Areas

[->PrOjEcTGS<-]

Couple questions.

Meeting spot? >>>>Let me find a good spot for this one!! Open for suggestions<<<<

How many runs a night can we get? >>>>As long as the line is short it's as many as you can fit in. I've been there where you do a run and then turn around and your the next one in line again. Can't bank on that though.<<<<

Do they sell gas at the track? >>>>YES, it's all sunoco stuff there I believe.<<<<

Where do you live man, your profile says california!!! Are you coming all the way from there? Or are you a transplant?

Transplant.

I moved out to Clinton Feb 10th after I got laid off. Figured I had enough saved to get me, my truck and my 2 DSM's out here, I might as well. The cost of living ( rent ) is a third of what it was where I was from, made it inviting. Plus, all my family is out here and I had not seen them in forever. As for the weather, its really pissing me off. I want my sunny 90 degree days. These overcast, rain every 3 days, cold days are angering me.

 

[->PrOjEcTGS<-]

NICE!!

Welcome Back! It's just starting to get good around here weather wise. This is my favorite time of year in this area!! Winter sucks! and summer is just too dry for me but Spring and Fall are awesome!! Then again I haven't the only other place I've lived is Michigan and it can get cold up there! Summer is nice though! Do you need directions to the track?

 

[The_EE]

Sure, I figure I could grab them online.

Hopefully I can get everything done on the car in time. Doesnt help that my ass is on unemployment right now hehe but I will do everyting in my power to be there.

How many runs a night can we get?

Do they sell gas at the track? I have a tank full of 110 but its 5 months old, gonna have to run it.

We run till about 5 to 11ish (dont quote me on that) and you can run as many times as you can get in. On a typical friday night grudge night there are 25-50 or so cars and 5-10 bikes, so we are going to have challlengers .

Yes they do sell gas there but from what I hear it isnt the best quality and its a little bit watered down. There is a gas station around my area that sells 100 octane, but I doubt you are going to want to drive 20 mins past the track, fill up, and drive back.
Theres always Kansas City Speedway, 110 octane I think at $6 a gallon. Ive never got any from there but hey its worth a shot.

Ill try to make it just to hangout and BS some and meet some people. I will let ya know when it gets alilttle closer.

Well, I have approx 14 gallons of 110 in the car right now, maybe a little less. Should be enough to get me to the track and race and get me back home. I really wish there was E85 near me, I would be super happy since its running $2.90 a gallon instead of the $3.35 91 is running.

Hopefully I can get 6-8 runs in, if I can I should have the car fully tuned by the 4th run and get me a couple really good runs in. I will only be able to do a somewhat baseline street tune on some pulls and thats it.

I am excited and cant wait, I have not run since BOTI in So Cal when I broke my axle etc ( run in video ). I didnt have any power in 2nd gear so that gear was totally wasted and I was starting to pull on the 400hp evo I was racing, who later that night ran a 11.9 and came in 2nd in his class.

Swade, hopefully you can make it.

Cool

I don't know... it doesn't matter to me either way. There are some places around there that would be good. Whatever someone suggests would be good.

 

[playitlouddsm]

I would love to join in the next time everybody is going to hit the track. My car is going to be at the body shop here in the next week or so, due to a drunk roomate accident.

 

[Whophlungpoo]

I guess I can offically say I am coming? .



Hopefully will be have my 400 whp by then, but we will see.

 

[->PrOjEcTGS<-]

Yeah Yeah!! We need to fix that boost leak!! YOU NEED A NEW J-PIPE!!

 

[4g63mutdsm]

wow I wish I would have known about this a little earlier then I might have waited a bit before tearing my car apart.

Sorry man, but that is why I started the thread two months ahead of when the track day would be. Spectators are welcome.


Hey on a side note, there is a Buffalo Wild Wings about 4 miles away from the track in Raytown off of 350 hwy. Let me know if that would be a good place to meet before the track? I'd say meet there about 4:30ish then leave @ 5:15ish to get to the track @ 5:30ish when doors open!

^^^^^ Looks like a good itinerary!!

 

[The_EE]

Things are looking good for me.

Engine in built, putting it in the car today, have to wait on a couple parts, should be here in the next two days,. Still need to get IC piping made then I fire her up and hopefully she holds.

i think meet at bw3's at 3:30 or 4:00 so people can eat cause sometimes they can be a little slow

 

[4g63mutdsm]

Well I guess its up to forced performance whether my car is going to be done by then. They said my new turbo will take 2 - 4 weeks to get here, so its not looking good. Oh well, might show up just to chat a bit any ways.

 

[pyschoslipknot]

I wont be able to make it to bww because I dont get off of work until 5, so I'll just meet everyone at KCIR.
My oil pump just came in so I should be throwing the 6 bolt back in this weekend. Its looking good for me on making it to the meet.

 

[madman]

I'm not sure if I can make bww's. I'm going to have a friend tag along that has never been to the track and I have to wait on him to get off work.

That brings up a question. Can you have a passanger ride down the track with you? I'm assuming so, but I thought I would check. Of course they would have their own helmet.

Also, does anyone know if you're allowed to have a laptop in the car? Would it have to be mounted? I'm thinking about logging my runs.

1. Not at this track, you cannot have a passenger.
2. Never had a problem with the laptop in the seat. I would hide it though.

There are new owners since the last time I have been. So, there might be new rules that I am unaware of.

[The_EE]

Car is still not running. Monday I should have the piping welded, I should still be there unless I failed at my first attempt at rebuilding a bottom end.
