As some of you know, I started a Mopar event at National Trail in Columbus in 1993. Actually the first one was in 1981 but it didn't become a big deal until '93. By 2005 it had grown to 1000 cars, 500 vendors, 500 race cars and 10,000 spectators. That year I was approached with an offer to sell, which in hindsight was a huge mistake. Lately, however, I've been in contact with NTR and they would like me to return to the facility with another Mopar event. So, I give you the 2014 Chrysler Power Classic Homecoming, May 16-18!
Jeff, any thoughts on having NSS rather than Max wedge?

Hi Casey!
Yes. We're going to run NSS, including the appropriate 1966-69 models. It will be Mopar only though. No 409s, T-bolts, etc.

Jeff,
Why not open NSS up to all makes, it would increase car count and I think the fans would love it!

Jeff let me guess......No heads up race? Well you can't blame a guy for asking.... 
He had a 10.5 class at his events a couple of years ago. Don't count it out yet.

I agree whole heartedly. Unfortunately we tried that at our events at Marion County and Tri-State. I procurred a dozen or so names of Brand X NSS racers in the Midwest area and invited them. Not only did they not show, a couple of them emailed me and asked to be taken off our mailing list. Go figure. If a group of them are interested, they would be more than welcome. I just need them to let me know.

That's weird! it has been a long time since I have been around any of those groups so I don't know who the players are with out a program anymore but I think if Jim Wittenburg were still around he would rustle up the troops.
Have you contacted any of the Texas Outsiders? I live in SoCal now so I won't be there but I always loved the May event in Columbus.
