It's a long ways away, but its a long snowy winter. Aug 8-10 2014 2014 Mopar Nationals Stickshift Challenge Winner $1000 R/U $400 Semis $100 $100 to the driver if there is a factory trans car in the final. There will be t shirts like last year, with pockets-for the old guys. Also rewards for best RT and I'm thinking maybe a bounty sticker as well. The Nats site isnt updated yet, or really at all for any of the 2014 event. Just know the race will happen on Saturday as always, with the same rules as years past. Im also in talks for some sponsor help so there may be more goodies down the pipeline, or higher payouts. I'd like to pay back a little farther. Hopefully you can make it, have fun, lie about how good you shift, and keep your timeslips close so no one knows your real R/T  Couple videos: Oldiron: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zO9LMVzfKbcMine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imAv4xFWnY4Couple pics, for the heck of it:

The last time I said I was going to come and race the stick class at the Nationals I had an unfortunate meeting with a deer while riding my motorcycle, at 75mph! It hurt a bit. I am divorcing the lieing, cheating, [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] I was dumb enough to marry so my money situation is in a state of chaos right now. If I have the cash I want to be there. I will be the slowest car in the class probably but I do not care.  This will be fun.

Any mopar bodied/power contraption you want to bring. It can be a new challenger with a 6 speed, an early 90's Daytona, 5spd Dakota, or a 70 Cuda with a clutchless liberty. Last year we had a low 10 full out race car with a Jerico running a very nice street cuda that I think dialed 13.50 area. Just bring it and have fun. Although ladder bar blue cudas with drivers with white helmets are frowned upon!!!

I try to get out and they keep pulling me back in  Norwalk was fun even with the demise of my clutch disc in round 2 last year. My car is all apart now "de-tuning" it for easier street driving but I'm still not afraid to whoop on a street HEMI transmission  Gus

Just an update.
Race will again be brought on by:
Dave Irwin Racing Engines
Payout
Winner $1000
Runner Up $400
Semis $100
The R/U and semis got a bump in pay. I still think 1k is good for the winner. Working on other goodies but totally my fault. A lot of sponsors set up their budgets around last fall so I'm kinda late to the game.
Should still be fun.
