Josh's Indy race is a "must attend event"for Mopar racers.If this race has enough support it can be bigger than the MoparNats as far as the racing and attention to the racers.I have only missed the Nats once in 25 years but in the last 5 years or so the racing seemed to only be a side show for the main event.The MM at Indy the racing is the event and everything else is the side shows.
As far as tracks,NationalTrails has it's share of issues and most everyone runs faster at Norwalk,PRP and others.

I voted for August, but June 7 - 9 looks wide open for someone to have a race. Pittsburgh would be great and or Quaker City.
Thanks / Gary




I second the June 7-9 date at Quaker City. This looks to be good fit, plenty of time between it and Monster Mopar at Indy. I do not think you will conflict with the Sled Citys event. How many on this board raced the Sled City?? NSS had less than 16 cars, No Box- maybe 30 cars, etc. Early June as Gary said is WIDE OPEN.
Racers need to schedule their vacation time asap, probably too late for some.

I hope we can garner support for the late August date at either QC or PRP. It's a later summer race with less blinding heat and before the season goes to the finals race stuff. just one opinion. As I said, if it's a BGR event I will try and attend anytime. HJ

There were a few from this board there, and all you know that I race 100% Mopars and have been since 1967. But I want to be honest with you , there sure were a lot of Fords in the winners circle and I would like to see the Mopars in that spot. Support the event and come out and whip some Fords aces. Check out the picture from that event at www.sledcityevents.com. Thanks N/SS guy for the plug!

I agree with Gary, second week in june would be great.
I would like Pittsburg as it has been the Curt George location since it's start.
That being said, we would attend whenever wherever.
I know the Short horse racing team will be bringing 8 to 12 cars
Thanks,
Noel

WOW only 28 votes for PRP so far. We have way more Mopars than that on a weekly race day at PRP and I surly hope the Curt George Memorial race stays there. I never liked the track layout at Quaker City and the track prep will never be as good as it is at Pittsburgh Raceway Park. The grass is nice but if people would use there head and not pull thru the added asphalt in the pit spots, gravel would not be an issue.


1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27

Livin and lovin life one day at a time

Bob is asking for the help of all Moparts members that have attended or wanted to attend the Curt George Memorial race to choose the site and date for the event.

Thank you all for your help.




We enjoy attending the Curt George Memorial. Any weekend that you decide on would be great. We enjoy coming to Pittsburgh Raceway Park, However, we have never been to Quacker City. Heard alot about it. We will be racing 3 cars this year. With Chasity driving 2 of the cars. Bratt Racing Ron, Debi and girls.

I appreciate the fact that Bob asked for some imput pertaining to this SPECIAL EVENT, sounds like he is still interested in continuing this race! I will voice my opinion on the location and date preference, although we will probable not be racing this year! Unfortunately the motor broke in Indy last year and I don't think that we will be ready until next season.
I believe that May or early June would be the best time due to the intense heat of late July or August, and I would like to see it moved to Quaker City. Where ever it is held, hope every enjoys and has a safe and fast week-end. HEMI JOE - Endangered Species Racing

For what my opinion is worth.. I think the track is better at PRP and the grounds are better at QCMP
If you haven't seen the burnout box at QC http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1vp7j99d1o
It is interesting and a challengen for stick cars - its ok but takes some getting used to

I agree PRP would be my first choice, but wherever Bob takes it that's where we will try to go. Mike

We'll also be doing an event October 19-20 in a slightly warmer climate. There will probably be another event, but it will depend on what BG is doing. It won't interfere with the Memorial.

Will you be running the same format as the 2008 Hemi Reunion? I’m wondering because doesn’t the box class run 1/8 mile at tri-state?

We plan on running 1/4. Tri-State does run 1/8 box in their weekly program since most NHRA ET series tracks are starting to follow that format.
