I went to the Indy Swap Meet over the weekend with 2 of the crew and we split up and did our own shopping. On the way back home we were talking and I brought up the conversations that I had had with not one but 3 of the local Indy area Mopar people, at 3 different times. Seems there is a rumor around Indy that National Trail Raceway has lost it's NHRA sanction. The other 2 guys in the truck had heard the same thing, and we all had a good laugh. NHRA "owns" National Trail Raceway. I metioned this rumor to the new track manager , and he got a good laugh also. By the way, the new track manager has been there for ever and he is heavy into Mopars. I will see you guys at "The Spring Nostalgia Nationals", on June 22-23, 2013 at National Trail Raceway. This race is for all 1977 and older cars.

Nuther funny one.. Nobody that works for Mopar, at any capacity, can profit off of Mopar. "people" overheard someone saying Belinda worked for Chrysler. I think he's at Ford. I actually don't like rumors.

No he didn't.. Your thinking of Jeff. He isn't a permanent fixture at the track anymore... And for the Belinda comment, anyone else see the mopar nats is now the Chrysler nats.. And Larry hope to make your event this year.

As the Dragracingonline site said, just rumors. The rumors could have been started in the Indy area for some reason.

Trails is just fine. They make money the same as most other tracks in the Midwest....not much. But i doubt in recent years many tracks have been funneling money in by the truck-loads. Rumors are just that. Rumors. No better than gossiping about your neighbors......just makes you look like a loud mouth.

We will keep supporting it like we always have. Sure doesn't benefit anyone to have a racetrack of it's size and history shut down....

I guess I spoke out of turn for saying I had heard that. I don't know it no one leaked it to me. It was just something overheard.

I don't wish any ill will on a track. What good does that do for the sport

I'm pretty sure National Trails has been for sale for many years.

Soon the N H R A will be out of the ownership of any track,
Drag racing is seeing a slow death, in some cases faster in some areas than others,
Bigger tracks leaving out the regular local racers for the attraction of large events to attract spectators.
High prices, slow sponsorships, little spectators, fewer racers.
Insurance, taxes, maintance cost,
All the recipes.

I have to agree 100%, I have talked to track owners/operators around this area and they all have this issue at some point.

Hello Frito, NTR has been my home track since the day it opened, and I still have the Chrysler Powered Willys that we raced there the first year. Am I tight with NTR? Well , I chose the track to hold my event at and I am spending a lot of money promoting my race which inturns promotes the track as well. While at Indy this weekend, me and my crew were wearing sweatshirts promoting my event and a lot of people were reading them. We were like walking sign boards, and it's just funny that we had never heard anything like what we were hearing except at Indy. I did not know the 3 people that came up to me and spoke about it, and next time I will make sure we are on name to name basis. By the way, we need more Mopars in the winners circles at my event on June 22-23,2013 at NTR. BE THERRRE.

Ironic almost.....


The guy concerned with the rumor, that I too heard for the first time at the show finds it more productive to post it on the internet instead of considering it just that.....a rumor.

Its a rumor....no one knows if its true.

Usually when someone starts a rumor it for personal benifit.They want to either bring attention for their agenda or try to deminish their opponent just as we see in politics.And just like in the political arena it'a just another form of "mud slinging".
Just look at the content of the rumor,who's involved and their motive and anyone can draw a educated conclusion.
We all applaud Larry,Jeff,Josh and others that put on various Mopar events but let each stand on it's own merits.
Rumors deserve no consideration unless there is substancial facts to warrant reasearch to either prove or disprove them.We must not let BS muck up our sport like politics have hurt our great country.
Like any good story the background is important,but to pass on the story from unknown or unreliable sources is just to create drama.

Just remember one thing every business venture has a sale price - assuming you have a willing buyer to pay it. If you need proof look at the IHRA - if you really understood the group behind it - you would undertsand what that was about. Sentiment and emotion does not pay the bills - but rumors sure do help to bolster interest!!!

And Bob - thats just creepy.....

Not to start another rumor, but from my understanding these 2 things:
There is a "Mega Mopar Action Series" that is now being held in St. Louis. Rug was pulled out from Josh and MMW at the last second last year after he worked hard to bring MMW back to Gateway. http://www.gatewaymsp.com/ai1ec_event/monster-mopar-weekend/?instance_id=1211
I believe I read that the Mopar Nationals said no other Mopar only races can be held there.

I believe they are doing the moster mopar weekend stuff now..




Not to start another rumor, but from my understanding these 2 things:
There is a "Mega Mopar Action Series" that is now being held in St. Louis. Rug was pulled out from Josh and MMW at the last second last year after he worked hard to bring MMW back to Gateway. http://www.gatewaymsp.com/ai1ec_event/monster-mopar-weekend/?instance_id=1211
I believe I read that the Mopar Nationals said no other Mopar only races can be held there.





We almost didn't have a show at all last year at GMP!
It's all good,
Mega Bucks Now has a NO box this year ! so they are trying to get it moving in the right direction!
They increased the Points nights from 8 to 10
You are correct about the no compete clause, ,A lot of tracks has that now,
