Speaking for the All Stars, they had a good turnout. But, they have their own program independent of the Mega Mopar deal...they have nothing to do with one another.
BTW....Ronnie McClelland in the "Bud's Auto Sales" 66 BGR Hemi Dodge runnerupped in the 422 All Stars event, taking out some heavy hitters on the way. The 422 deal is, in my opinion, the absolute best Nostalgia SS program around.

Show up Friday and my buddy goes through tech. The hour long ordeal there as always. This is with a nice car, goes 8.70s big tire car with house of color triple stage color. He has a Ed quay wing on his car and the tech guy lays his belly on it and bends the wing, stops his inspection says you are good to go and writes the number on his car. He was only half way through. My friends asks about his wing and guy say oh you can bend that back no problem.#%*^#** that's when I said oh yea I remember why I don't come here!!

I have to say that we probably won't be going back. They made this a 2 day event and they closed up shop at 4:30PM on Saturday. We could have completed our race on Saturday, but had to come back on Sunday because they wanted to keep the car count up. Plus, I don't think it was our car, but track prep varied widely. After an oil-down before we ran, they used a soapy water mixture with a scrubber to clean up the track, then tried to dry it off. We blew the tires off the car at launch. Worst 60ft ever. Launch was consistent on Sunday until the 3rd round when at launch it spun bad, against the chip, a tenth off (almost all in the 60 ft), plus 30 lbs of oil pressure at the finish line (filter full of metal, so the pan it coming off this week). That, and the $75 entry fee (on top of the $90 we pay 422) made it an expensive weekend. We were supposed to be one of the features (at Capitol Raceway they charged us $10 for the 422 event). The 422 group has gotten screwed at prior events, so I wouldn't be surprised if this was the last straw that broke the camel's back. I'm betting it won't be on the schedule next year. Rant over...

There were 6 or 8 SS/AH cars there and many nostalga cars as well as a variety of Mopars. I didn't take a count but it seemed like a fairly good turnout. The track was prepped and the hook was great. No complaints from me. I won the quick 8 class and had a great time.
Been a fan of your car since I first saw it in the early 90's magazine profiles. That has to be one impressive A-body next only to an AH car. Rick

Well Bob, I was there! I also actually prefer to race my car than just comment about car counts online... actually much prefer!
BTW, the number of competitive SS/AH cars that will be at those other event’s you listed will be ZERO. Unless you want to build and enter one.
