The International Drag Strip (IDS) rounds
out the KC-1 duelling scene. It's one of the few
professional drag strips in the Midwest. Open from spring to
late summer, it hosts several national and international
drag racing tournaments.
Arena Notes:
The IDS consists of a two-lane, quarter-mile drag
strip. The side walls are 15' high and have 100 DP. Most
races go south-north, but the track can handle north-south
races as well. On the north side is an emergency slow down
zone. Vehicles in the zone receive an additional 10 mph
deceleration bonus. The deceleration zone is one mile long
(360"). Since there is no middle retaining wall, handling
mishaps can become extremely messy.
