Just to make it official, here's the last side-by-side actual drag race at KCIR; the next run was Marcum's idling "salute":

Thanks, Bret. Great video. That's you, isn't it!

This whole deal made me sick...not just the fact that the track was closed, but how it was done. There was a link on another site that described in detail the Kansas City city council's maneuvers in the process of legally acquiring the property. I became at once enraged and nauseous over the tactics that they used. Legal is sometimes pretty far South of Moral, and this exercize ended up with the KC racers thrown out on the street and the politicians snickering and high-fiving each other in the back room. Scum of the earth they are, says I, and I'll take my lumps for saying it. Good luck and safe racing to all. WC1
