First full day in Kansas, we went to check out the scene at Mid America Dragway. Plenty of cool cars, nice people and some good racing. I'd post more pics, but I'm on my phone and it's a huge PITA. Anyone know this car?

Looks like the Ford's AMX.

It ran well. They were running heads up, and the driver was a masterful sandbagger. Only AMC out that day.

The car is pretty well sorted out and Pat is a pretty good driver. They're fun folks to race with.

These two always put on a good show. Though I didn't catch it in a pic, the one in the near lane did some spectacular wheelstands. The crowd loved it, but it cost him in eliminations. Probably worth it just the same. Two good looking, solid runners. This Pontiac ran strong, and had great wheels up launches.

Ark city right? I lived in Wichita in 86-87 going to auto mechanics school. Went to Ark City(name at the time)many times and Wichita International. I remember a nice white 360 powered Hornet hatchback came from the Kansas City area often to race. Pat Daniels is from Wichita. He's the guy who started the AMX repo 1/4 (partial)panel you can buy. And was the first to reproduce the SC/Hurst emblems for the Scrambler. He had lots of fast AMC and other cars. Had an AMC dragster in the early 90's. Stopped by his house one day. He still lived with his mom.

I was out again at the races this evening. There was even a Javelin running. Anyone recognize it?
