Stroked Lightning in Kansas

We are planning on having Stroked Lightning in Indepedence Kansas on Oct. 21. I took this of The Diesel Stop here is what Brian C the owner of the truck has in mind....

How about this idea...Saturday October 20th we can all meet at my house in Independence. I have a new 5000 sq. ft. shop being built this week and will have a dyno in it by October. We could have a dyno day. Also, I'll have the Stroked Lightning truck here for anyone that wants a ride.

If anyone wants to wet a line, I have a 9 acre pond full of catfish. Or if you prefer to do a little shootin' I can set up some targets.

After dynos and such we can go to Mid America Speedway in S. Coffeyville (20 miles from my house) and watch the MLRA late model races. I own the track so everyone would get a free ticket in to the pits. Races start at 7:00 PM and I need to be there about an hour early.

Thoughts? Brian C

So what do you guys think ????

Gene
