Limpy's Cash Days at the Hill
Chris "Limpy" Collins brought his cash days, which started on the streets of Texas, to K D Dragway. The first one drew 46 small-tire racers for a pot of over $13,000, and Street Outlaws regulars race it. 1320Video films it every year; in 2025 rain soaked the track and the crowd ended up watching adults race kids' Power Wheels down the shutdown hill for $1,500.
History
This eighth-mile strip in the hills of Scioto County opened on September 3, 1989. It’s known online for its layout: past the finish, the shutdown climbs a hill so steep it looks like a wall, and the return road curves back down beside it, a bit like a full-size Hot Wheels track. The track was listed for sale in July 2020 at $299,900.
