Osceola Dragway?

Brin Kizer from K&D body shop has the track record at 6.44 200mph and has stoped from that speed without using the parachute.Call him at 269-279-7915 that is from memory so if it doesn't work call information.

The staging lanes are 4 wide some pit roads are paved the return road is paved ,the bath rooms are NOT good but are going to be relaced next year.

Anybody having doubts about the track should check out the times in my reports on Drag Race Central. This is my first trip here and I don't see much wrong.

The staff here are really friendly and have obviously put a lot of work into the track. Whatever was in the past is in the past, but they sure seem determined to continually improve the track.

The fact that the IHRA sent staff here probably has made a difference. They showed Tim a few tips about track prep, and he went more than halfway by buying a rubber drag to groom the surface.

Yes, there's a concession stand here. You know what? They had free donuts this morning to anyone who wanted them. Sounds like a good place to me.

I don't know why more cars aren't here other than some people may have been scared off. If that's the case, it's a shame because we've seen some good racing here today. Good air and a good track tends to do that.

The only downside we had was a fairly lengthy clean up on almost the entire right lane. A Super Stock car stood on its bumper, and destroyed its oilpan when it came back down.
