KRP

[GTPpower]

Opens up on the 5th of April. I should be there. Anyone else wanna go?

[schovil69]

Are they going to have street races or do we have to get our runs in between bracket rounds?

**** it! Let's go bracket racing and own that ****!

[Jasen]

Pass.

We have plenty of dirt roads here to race on and you don't have to wait in line.

[Kelvin]

id like to hang out and race at krp with you guys, but julesburg is only an hour and a half from me. elevation? 3500ft :(

[Coupelx]

i so should. but i already took off the end of april to go to kcir.

[David]

**** THAT TRACK!!!

unless you like launching on the side of the track and risking fish tailling it into the wall... then by all means please help yourself.. i guess front wheel drive wouldn't be as big of a problem..

THEY WILL NOT LET ME RUN IN THE GROOVES!! **** DAT AND THEIR HIGH ALT TRACK!!

KCIR or topeka.

[Reaper]

Yea they have really gotten to be strict there and street cars are always second to them for priority. My uncle owned that track before the new owners and things were alot more open. The only good thing now is that they resurfaced the track. Pretty much most everyone runs .3-.5 slower in Kearney than Scribner did though due to the elevation.

[Coupelx]

why cant you run in the grooves?

[Jasen]

They only allow cars with slicks to run in the groove.
This is retarded as street tires stir up dirt outside of the groove and throw it everywhere.
What it boils down to is the track management / prep crew is too lazy or cheap to keep the track properly prepped between runs.
I like my nice straight body panels and paint job the way it is without having to do any body work from poor track prep.
You can go 15 miles east of Lincoln and dirt track race.

[Jasen]

That and they cater to those wicked fast big tire 12 second bracket race cars. :rolleye:

[91fox]

what about drag radials ?

[86Shelby]

what about drag radials ?

Go race in the gravel with your treaded tires.

[Jasen]

what about drag radials ?

They have tread, you'll be racing in the marbles.

[cole]

they let me run my nitto drs in the grooves back in oct.

i really wanna run at kcir though

[Thunder]

neener, i could go run in the groove.

but pass. I'll wait til someone goes and tells me what its like.

[cole]

road trip to kcir?

[wholeshotracing]

So... since all you guys are stoked about coming down how many of you guys are coming down>? and what times are you guys going to be running?

[cole]

ill come to kearney, i like the interstate...and i'll be running ~15.4 @ 90

[GTPpower]

I'll be there....I don't have anything to race anymore though.


Are you sure they won't let you run in the grove? They never told me to get out of it, and I ran street tires....but you guys are right, prep sucks....go around and talk to the people that race there every weekend....they'll tell you it sucks too!

Good thing for street cars is that they put up lights for this year....they should be ready to race at night by May! Night racing FTW!

[89fox]

Im gunna try and go out there.

they went around and checked everyones tires last time i was there telling you whether or not you could run in the grooves...

and yes, the one track guy that signals you to go is a ****ing inbred pile of ****

[David]

stoked??? are you ****ing kidding... did you not read my post?? that track is a joke.... track prep can very so much that one day your cutting down 12.8' and the next good luck get below 13's. Having to let off the gas because your scared you're going to slam in to the wall while launching on marbles. Please.


KCIR or Ban.. when that track(KRP) gets their **** together and realizes the real money is in street racing let me know..


Here's some math for you... If you have 40 guys show up on sunday and 40 guys show up on saturday... the saturday crew is bracket racing..... and sunday crew is street racing.


40 guys chip in $35 each. = $1400


after paying crew, trophies, winnings etc... what do you think is left? not a whole ****ing lot.. and this is a whole day event... so your crew is expensive.


on streetracing days..

you can open for half as many hours, for nearly the entry fee.. you pay half.
half the crew thats used for brackets is required for street racing and for half as long... getting in 2 lines isn't hard... no trophies and no winnings to pay out..

I talked to Greg owner of scribner... he said he hated bracket racing for 2 reasons.. one he thinks it's lame... anytime you put a throttle stop on a car it's not racing. The other thing is from an owers point of view it's expensive and doesn't bring in near the money street racers do..

with that said.. **** KRP

[GTPpower]

David, you should join the KRP forum and post that exact thing!^^^ If you don't, I'm gonna copy and paste it over there....after editing out the cuss words.


BTW, I believe the inbred that signals the cars to pull up to line doesn't work there anymore. Maybe they'll get their heads out of their asses this year and actually prep the track. Maybe I should get some old POS car with bad tires and slam it into the wall a couple times....maybe then they would let us run in the grooves.

[Alley]

They cancelled the street races last year on the day we went so they could have there gay bracket races. **** krp

[LNKMK8]

Yeah, I won't be back. Terrible place to race, and terrible organization.

Well put. :Thumb:

[Thunder]

i'm willing to give KRP a chance.

[Alley]

i'm willing to give KRP a chance.

where's the info you were talkinga bout at the garage with the new street racing nights? We need a ****ing owner of KRP to log on here and answer our questions and field our complaints.

[David]

GTP please feel free to make my post known.. and let those **** suckers know anytime their ready to pull their throttle stops off i've got a line up of street cars willing to run trains on their ****ing piles. If they wanna log into SCR and tell me what a street punk i am please give them the address... and advise them my name is David on the board.

**** EM!

I'd like to see those ****ing cars drive from lincoln to KRP race like we do and back.. ****ing trailer queen POS breaking while running 13.4.. :rolleye: and ruining my chances to run..

[David]

You know what.. i might just go down there.. take the v6 automatic mustang with stock air fitler and ****ing take those bitches money.... show them how ****ing consistant a stock v6 auto mustang can be... make there ****ing slicked up... throttle stopping piles look just like that..

[Jasen]

Now David. You need to backhalf that Mustang first. Gotta make it fair.


Punk. :lol:

[GTPpower]

^^^That and it's gotta run 13's to qualify for the bracket racing, but that shouldn't be too hard.

I'll post what you wrote. I'll let you know how it comes out.

[00mustanggt]

i personally wouldn't mind goin, i dont really have a huge problem with krp, i showed up with brand new drag radials last year they didnt recognize that they were drs, made me run out of the groove just blew em off. I simply told the guy at the line they were drs he said no prob did my burn out and was in the groove from that point on, yea its slower in krp do to the alt, but at the same time is that so bad if u can say i ran this at krp and people think its slow until you race em at sea level? idk everyone is entitled to their own opinions i had fun last year hopefully i can go again soon with the new setup on the slowbra

[tdcracing]

Put up or shut up! If you can overrun KRP with street cars then do so thats the only way to get what street racers are looking for. If you dominate the field you have to be catered to.

Thats funny, last time we where there the street cars line was longer then the bracket racers line and they still let them run multiple times before they even looked at us. We had to go up to the track manager and ask for our money back before he said we could run again. AWESOME!!!

[swaggy853]

I'm gonna write up a new thread with the info I got last nite, it will be up in a bit.

[wholeshotracing]

That track manager is no longer with us he has steped down the track will be run alot different.... like TDC said please bring all your friends in May we will have lights up and a lot more open track time.
who has a fast street car up there?...and what is fast?
we have guys that come down from denver and wyoming the run in the 9's so if we can get them some people to run with them we can put on some heads-up racing.
and i know there is some cars up in eastern nebraska that can beat them.
BUT if your going to be dicks and ***** and moan about everything please stay home!

[Alley]

Will there be any bracket racing at all on these "street racing" nights?

[swaggy853]

No, http://starcityracing.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=7490

[GTPpower]

Ok, I posted David's comment, along with a few other links. I'll share the comments as they come in.

[89fox]

So whats this i hear that KRP wont let you run in the groves with street tires?

[David]

just that... hope like launching on gravel roads.

I think the people bitching here have a right to. They paid for seat time on a prepped track and got stiffed. Some of them more than once because you guys from out there come on here saying "it's different now blah blah" and it wasn't. What do you expect? Gearheads are oppinionated and speak out.
Now you're saying if that place screws anyone again, we're not allowed to "be dicks and ***** and moan"?
Listen to what people are saying, read through the swear words and you will see the bitching has a point to it.

If you want my oppinion and you want to make some real money with that track, try a few of these things:

1) PREP THE TRACK
2) Let the street cars / test & tune cars equally get in line and run on the track in the evening. Brackets during the day like always.
3) Have a grudge match night. Hire an announcer with a personality more substantial than a blank piece of paper. Have the announcer talk smack when someone gets called out. (Ever watch golf? It's like watching paint dry.)
4) Start a series with cars that race heads up, run what ya brung, maybe split it into classes, run that one night once a month.
5) MOST OF ALL: Treat ALL your racers like a valued customer. This will go a long ways if you want to expand the participants at your track. You are limited by population base out there, so if you want to expand beyond what you have there, this must happen.

I could go on for a long time about this.....

[GTPpower]

Bud, do you mind if I post that too?^^^

[Jasen]

Noo problem! Hell I'd even be willing to volunteer to help set some things up. I'd be ecstatic to have a well run track around here!

[David]

omg that was funny when we walked up in a small mob and asked for our money back... that old ** looked like he was going to **** himself.

[DevilSperm]

FWIW, I hooked better out of the groove than in it last year. 1.5 60's out of the groove is pretty decent IMO. On the other side of things, if more VHT was used, that may not be the case...Id probably just have another tranny sitting on my garage floor :-p

[swaggy853]

I was never told to run out of the groove, I must have missed that day. I ran consistant 2.0 60fts with a fwd in the groove.

[GTPpower]

The best 60ft I could get was a 1.98 on DR's....which sucks for a car like mine....should be somewhere it the 1.8's.

[Alley]

out of the groove is lineing up outside of the entire lane. The surface is just like the street. so if you can cut 1.5 60's out of the groove then you can do it on the street too. That would be pretty impressive. Kinda hard to believe.

[DevilSperm]

AWD.. Want me to upload the slip?

[Alley]

lol, I didn't figure on AWD. Us RWD guys and the FWD guys are ****ed lining up outside the groove.

[DevilSperm]

Yeah, I understand that has to suck. IIRC though, the only reason they stopped letting street tires run in the groove was because at an NHRA event, the NHRA guys were bitching about the treads tearing up the track. Big brother always seems to win out.

I dont agree with everything KRP does. Some of it annoys the **** out of me, but its my home track and its close. They are getting few and far between so I support it so I have somewhere to race legally. Hopefully with the changes this year things will head in the right direction.

We need to give constructive criticism and try to not come off as bitchy on the net, which is hard to do. We all know how hard sarcasm is to pick up on a forum, its the same thing really.

[Alley]

But THEY came to OUR forum. Were going to tell it like it is here.

[swaggy853]

Thats fine, but being a **** doesnt make anything better.

[wholeshotracing]

devil i call bullshit on the 1.5 60's thats crap your 2.0L...? or what ever that lil hemi is pulls like a **** poor runnin GEO outta the hole!

hows that for being a ****? :lol:

[DevilSperm]

lol ass.:rofl:

[GTPpower]

So no one replied....they just deleted the thread I posted......hmmmmm.......all of a sudden KCIR is looking a lot better.

BIG SHOCK! :eek:

They have their little click out there and they are happy with it the way it is. I don't see any big changes on the horizon. :)

I noticed that too

[GTPpower]

Do you know who is admin over there?

[wholeshotracing]

hey i tried. sorry, come if you want when the lights are up? :(

[GTPpower]

Thanks wholeshot...I'll be out there on the 5th. I forget, what do you race out there?

[wholeshotracing]

The super duper bad ass BOBCAT(pinto) station wagon LOL its white with wholeshot racing in the rear quater glass<> 12.Oish through the mufflers on D.O.T.'s

Are you the only one coming?

[GTPpower]

Ahhh, I remember that car now. I know there will be some grand prix guys coming from lincoln/omaha, but other than that, idk.

I hang around with Jared Mitchell a lot there.....they drive the station wagon that runs 10.3ish.

I'll be sure to stop and say hi and look over your car when you don't look too busy. Good luck out there.

[DevilSperm]

Dont forget to say hi to the super cool guy in the white talon! :woot:

[GTPpower]

^^^^I know I've seen you before out there....you were parked across from us about 2 years ago. I'll head over and check out that car too.

[GTPpower]

Ok, I was talking to a friend of mine last night about things out at the track. He said the reason street tires couldn't run in the grooves is because, like someone said, it tears up the surface. He said the track officials didn't have a say in it. I guess NHRA made them kick the street tire cars out of the groove.

If you have DR's, just tell them, and they will let you run in the groove.

They were trying to set records, Im sure they wanted a smooth launch pad to help with that.

Im confused though. With radials (for me) the groove is greasy and slick and I hook like asshole. I can see it helping with DRs, but an actual all season normal tread street tire, its worse. Im just trying to figure out if we are bitching just because we can or there is an actual argument here. Granted my car is AWD, but I just dont get it. Someone enlighten me with facts about how much better they hook in the groove and toss up your 60' times if you can.

[Alley]

In Groove: 2.1

Out of Groove: 2.3

After the bracket ricers were done they let us go back in the groove and my 60' times instantly dropped by 2 tenths.

[GTPpower]

I had a good time, but the weather sucked today....too damn windy.

Had a couple GP's come down from Lincoln. One in a red turbo GP GT. He pulled a best of 13.35 @ 105 on 10psi.

Oh, and my buddy gave me a ride in his low 10 second tempest on the return lane.......omg that was fast. I didn't have a seat to sit on, so I just sat on the floor and held onto the roll bar for dear life.

Wholeshot, I should have a few vid's of your car when the kid with the camera gets them uploaded.

[wholeshotracing]

videos!! :woot:are the front wheels up? i had a good time also iam glad you guys made it out and next time we need to start drinkin alot earlier! AND THE ****IN WIND! OMG god that sucked bad!

[DevilSperm]

I bet you guys are jealous of me because I was at work and NOT fighting the wind.... lol

[wholeshotracing]

not really! lol

[GTPpower]

Yeah, I totally wish I was at work. ;)

I don't remember if your wheels came off the ground or not. I think I took a video of your car with my camera, so I could post that before the guy with the video camera gets his vid's up.

[wholeshotracing]

or wholeshotracing68@yahoo.com will work

Here's a video of your car that I took with the video camera.

Yeah, I think they are waiting for the lights to get in. They are supposed to be in by the end of May from what they said.
