Can't disagree, Dave, but like many other places the local drag strip in KC closed down and sold the land to a housing developer a while back - ended about sixty years or more of history for the local drag scene, and the kids lost their place for grudge matches, heads up run-what-ya-brung racing, and test & tune runs. Sure, there's Heartland Park over in Topeka but it's a place that caters to the big NHRA events. Down south you can find MoKan Dragway, outside of Asbury, but that's about three to four hours away, a pretty good hike unless you're spending a night or two stimulating the local economy. It's not getting easier....
