Join us for Accelleration Runs at HPT - July 22 If you're looking for a night of fun, Heartland Park opens its quarter-mile NHRA championship drag strip for NHRA Drags Street Legal Event on 10 Thursday nights in 2010. All cars and motorcycles must pass NHRA safety inspection, drivers ages 16-18 are required to have a minor parental consent form signed by both parents. A state drivers license is needed by all others. You may even see your favorite drag team testing, as test-n-tune of race cars is welcome.
Our group usually goes to this event at least once a year. This year’s date is July 22. After a few runs down the strip, we usually head over to Pat’s Pig in nearby Pauline, Kansas to lie/brag about the evenings runs, and dine on some really great Bar-B-Que. If you’ve ever wondered what your car is made of, this is the perfect opportunity to find out. No speed traps, no State Troopers.
Schedule: Gate E opens: 5:00 pm Starts: 6:00 pm Ends: 10:00 pm Date: Thursday, July 22 2010 6:00pm to 10:00pm Racers and Spectators enter at Gate E.
Posted - 5/19/2010 : 9:41:47 PMWhere would I find their rules about roadsters / convertibles? I'd be curious if I'd have to put the @*&#$ hard top on to do this. I'll see what they have on the HP website.
Posted - 7/22/2010 : 7:31:13 AMI was planning on going, but we've got a late night at the office today. I'm sorry about getting everyone excited about going, and then not being able to go, myself. I hope eveyone has a good time!
Posted - 7/22/2010 : 3:17:05 PMI've decided to beg off, too. I was going to pull the thermostat on the SL to keep it from blowing up, but there just has not been time. This damn job is really cutting into my Mercedes time!!
Hope it goes well. I want to see some real time slips posted up!
