Its on Decoursey. You can get there either from Independence, Rt. 27, or thru Latonia.

Its 1/8 Bracket most weeks, some TNT, and some 1/4. If you look up kentucky bracket racers on google they have a forum all the information is on.

[dr59l]

Well got it out and made a few changes. Got tired of spinning my wheels so ditched radials for some 28x9 Mickey's an a call to baseline suspensions finally got me hooking. So far my 60s are 1.50 dead on w a lil accelerator pump bog . Gonna hook my two step up an see wat happens. Hoping by time I play w timing an Carb I get mid 1.40s motor then maybe by fall have everything I need to spray it. Thanks to facemelter I have some pony's to roll the street still lol

Cage turned out good. I used to have a 91 that looked just like this. If you add a little rust and subtract a little hood. Very Nice car.
