now see if you can make that speed dow ricky road... of of old noland rd.

lol, in the early 80s when it wasn't as populated, I've hit 100 on Noland several times..

and as teenagers, we would drive Ricky in the dark with only our flashers on...

me 2...80 mph was my best at night with the parking lights...

we would take the t-tops off and put it on cruise and sit on the roof

you were an early ghost rider!!

:P sometimes we use to drive with binoculers

we wernt actually ghost riding cause i would put my feet on the steering wheel

we did the flashers on mushrooms

lol.. we were on lots of stuff... that must be why we totaled out three or four cars...

ever jump james a reed rd?

lol, no where at? We used to hit bottom on the old Raytown rd before they built Longview lake

between gregory and blueridge heading south from gregory...

theres two big hills in a row..

dont jump a subframe car cause i jumped a trans am one time and bent the whole car.. the subframe and unibody colapsed so bad the shifting linkage and steering went all screwy.

my monte ss use to jump like a champ tho..till it got totaled out there on one piticualy high jump...i think i hit 120mph or so and my buddy was behind me and rear ended me after the jump when i was doing a fishtail.

What a nice buddy.

While in the Swedish military I was also trained as a Ranger , but also as a motorcycle ordonence...we trained one late fall night = very dark, driving on dirt roads without lights....I had a problem w my bike and when I got going to catch up...I sped up a bit....suddenly I came to a Y in the road...I got off trying to see tracks, but couldnt pick them out , too many there....picked one direction...after a while I felt like "this must be wrong", so I stopped , was going to see if I could see any fresh tracks again...as I parked the bike , I realized there was a chain strung across that road at abv 3 ft ht! I`m glad I stopped where I did....that could have been really bad

was it to close of the trail or a trap?

not a trap, it was to close the small road....had a little sign hanging from it....not that I could see until I was right up on the chain.

I bet some of the former owners of my car cruised Noland Rd way back in the day, I bought it in 1983 from a guy in KCK. Verdoro green with the black vinyl roof.
