By Ron Wilson, Huck Boyd National Institute for Rural Development at Kansas State University

Edgewater Sports Park, Cincinnati, Ohio. A new drag racing speed record has just been established, with a run of 8.56 seconds and a speed of 153.34 miles per hour. The racecar which set the record features a new type of engine block. And where was this automotive technology developed? Would you believe, halfway across the country in rural Kansas? Buckle up -- it's today's Kansas Profile.

Last week we learned that Doug Thompson is an attorney, a lifelong auto racer, and founder of the Kansas Auto Racing Museum at Chapman, Kansas. This week we will learn about the auto-related businesses in which he is involved.
