Sorry Doug, we will not be able to make the race. At the current time both cars are down. Dart blowen head gasket, not much to fix but decide to change the cam in it also. Barracuda blew a couple rod bearings at the last race in Pittsburgh. I'm in the process of rebuilding the motor now.
yeah i saw that from a different post, Sorry for the run of bad luck, hope you get them fixed soon, we have 4 events in 2012 I know you'll be there.

Breaking news about next weekends race........
Straight from the mouth of Jeff Johnson at 9:00pm tonight. All Box class racing at MCIR next weekend will be run on the 1/8th mile. There is too much concern about high speed cars on the shut down still at this track to take a chance. Hope this encourages some of you on the fence about going to make the journey. Also to make it perfectly straigh Friday is a fun day box gambler/no box gambler, Saturday is Box run for the purse, no box run for the purse, and following saturdays eliminations there will be an additional box/no box gamblers race to keep us racing into the night.
Just another excuess for the mopar people scared of the 1/4 mile!!..YAWN!!

Is the whole event going to be run 1/8th mile or just box?

As usual, I will be selling all the fiberglass Mopar parts that we make and at this event we will be having a stock pile of used compitition wheel tire combos--M&H, Goodyear, Firestone, Hoosier, M/T --- Super Tricks, Welds, etc. Some of these combos can be bolted on and raced this weekend. How about a big box of brand new OEM wedge and max wedge spark plugs. Talk to my new sales rep, Phil Roar , on Saturday, and get the deal you need. Had the Cuda out at Trails for test and tune on Friday night, and if I can have a 14x32 blow out in the traps at trails with no damage, then MCIR should be a piece of cake on the upper end. See you there !

Ok, why would Box and 10.5 be 1/8th mile and S/S be 1/4 mile? Alot of the S/S cars run well into the 9's.
Glassman, I wouldn't want to see anyone blow a tire anywhere on the track. It sounds to me that you were just plain lucky. However if the track is too rough for cars with 32" tires running 10.50's, then why wholdn't it be too rough for a car running 9.80's on 10.5" tires?

Yep, I was plain lucky that when the inner tube blew, the actual seal on the rim kept most of the air contained within the tire, enough to get me back to the trailer. After talking to Animal Mike about it, we decided that the tube was at least 15 years old. NOT GOOD. As far as MCIR I have seen Bullit Bob Reed dial his ss/ah car in at that track , and run right on his dial in. Maybe because all s/s cars run stock front suspension is the reason for the 1/4-1/8th mile race difference. Maybe a safety factor?

I don't have any problems with the track, it has it's own "personality". I have seen several post about the track, just wondering how many have actually been down it this year or even last.

I just looked up the track on Google, it looks like there are about 3 trees on the whole property. That sun is going to be brutal. I am bringing LOTS of water.

Dennis, yes the only trees are the ones around the pond. The concession does have an overhang that shades the picnic tables...so yes alot of water and gatorade is going to be needed this weekend...
Hope you have a good weekend...

Just got home, maybe 20 cars at most (couple from each class NSS, Box, No Box and 10.5) before they got rained out...although it was a quick storm and cleared right up.  lol. They just had open time trials all today. Not a lot of people there, BUT....there were trailers still rollin' in throughout the evening and when we were leaving.

Refused 8 hrs of overtime, 3 hr trip each way, $2.25 for a bottle of Pepsi, Total waste of time and money. Probably Less than 50 cars. There were so few Nostalgia Prostockers that Sean Dornan ran his SS/CA Cuda in NPS. Only Two cars in Pro Street. Maybe 20 in the show car field. I think there were 2 swap meet venders and no manufactures midway. Maybe 20 spectators. Where was everyone? Johnson had to have lost his butt on this event. I know I did.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

The car count was small, I agree. But the hog roast was awesome, with more than enough for everyone that attended. And JJ delivered as promised and the payouts were full amounts as advertised, even with the small car count.

Well thats sounds Ugly...I wonder how it would turn out
The car count was small, I agree. But the hog roast was awesome, with more than enough for everyone that attended. And JJ delivered as promised and the payouts were full amounts as advertised, even with the small car count.
JJ delivered as promised with the GUARANTEED PAYOUTS even with a low car count. Some promotors advertise that they have to have at least a 200 car count to hand out the complete purse. We took home a bunch of money as runner up in Nostalgia Super Stock, with "Animal Mike Warren" at the wheel of the 67 Hemi Belv., even in the 103 degree heat. Not too many spectators wanted to brave the heat but I did see a lot of friends that I haven't seen in 5-6 years. There were some Gold Cards handed out to the winners for free entrys for all 4 of Jeff's race and point series next year.Rowlan Ozborn from the old "Chrysler Power Mag. was on hand taking pictures and doing some stories on the cars. I got my ears filled with a lot of good things that are going to happen on the Mopar scene in the near future and it is what the Mopar public needs. Of course I took the oath of silence, 2 beers, and I will let Jeff announce it all, when he is ready. Yes this show was small,but Jeff was doing a lot of smiling about the beginning of something big. One last thing, The Warren and Augenstein 67 Hemi Belvedere would like to thank all the Nostalgia Super Stock cars that did not show up, for not showing up. The ones that did show up were all quality cars and we all had fun in the 103 degree heat.

Yes, turnout was low across the board, but I'm sure he somewhat expected that. First year event and the heat didn't help. Jeff puts on good events, and I'm sure he can grow this series. I can remember Norwalk back in 2001-2004 having around 600 race cars at the CC events. I drove 160 miles each way, but had a good time and will do it again next year, but hopefully as a racer. Saw some familiar cars, but really didn't talk to anyone because I dont' know anyone by face. Maybe next year.

I came back to the trailer after a run and there it was, Jeff had reinvented the "Goodie Bag". Hadn't seen a goodie bag since Jeff sold the Chrysler Classic back in 2005.

The car count was small and due to several reasons. One this being the first Chrysler Challenge race, 2nd was the HEAT, 3rd was the scare some may have gotten about the track.
The HEAT was ferocious and I even wondered why I was there Then the track was an issue because of some opinions but got to hand it to Jack Moore - He asked if I ever ran there and I told him it was my first and he told me about the shutdown area and what to expect and he was dead on. It is a different feeling where they ground the track but I had no issues at all @ 133mph just a weird feeling in the shutdown area but I could live with it and saw cars run way faster then that with no issues. I think next year will be an interesting series and other options for us Mopar Racers. I really think Jeff and his crew will step it up and put on some great events. Got to meet a few more members which was cool and pitted next to my friend Jim Guy and ended up running him first round. As you all know he is a great racer and we had a heck of a run but he trailered me by a .07 margin Also my bud's Walt, Chad and Lyndsey (she's the best looking of the trio by far!!!) came and hung out on Friday which was great

I drove 3 hours to get there. I talked to you gomango in the cooldown area.
We had a good time even with a low car count. I am still debating selling the road runner to build a car to race again!
I hope this will continue and maybe to a track closer to my house!
Come to think of it I talked to max maniac. I asked how old the paint was on your car and I had the camo hat on.
