Hank Denning and the other volunteer members of the Sunflower Rod and Custom Association often ask themselves if what they do at the famed Great Bend dragstrip is worth it. Then, they see the track featured nationally and realize it is. “Sometimes we ask ourselves why we do go through the work, expense, grief and financial risk for this event or even the entire season as a total volunteer group,” Denning told the Great Bend City Council Monday night.
