    You could name it in honor of Kay Sissel..... something like "Sissel's Ghost". :-) He gave them fits with six cycinder machines in the '60s! I suppose his twin six digger would be the high point.

    NHRA is going to work it's way into oblivion if they stay with the current trend. I don't like 1000ft racing and they can put 4 wide where the sun don't shine. This in all likely hood will be the last year I go to Topeka or any other NHRA event for those two reasons and the fact that they are charging for general parking. At Topeka most of the parking is in grass fields with some fairly tall grass and it's damn near a force march to get to the track.
