I really as not looking forward to driving 2.5 hours each way to race twice a month for points I may just sit out this year unless it is resolved. I was the thinking I might to hit some of the big mopar race and shows. What are the best ones to attend? Mopar Nats, Monster Mopar??? The closer to Texas the better, but I am open to suggestions. I will be running at the Mega Mopar Action Series at the Motorplex.

The Nats in Ohio are pretty sweet as drag racing is right there with the show and swap fields.. I hear the "Mopars at the Strip" is something to see as well..Vegas Right?? 1972 Road Runner / GTX 440 4spd Dana 3.54 Just about to turn 26K original miles.. A boat, a GMC truck, some Craftsman Tools, LOTS of Zombie Protection, and a few Goldfish.. If you love someone set them free.. If they come back it means nobody else wanted them either..!!

I've only been to Carlisle and several MATS shows. Carlisle had a nice swap meet and I enjoyed it a lot. I guess i'm partial to MATS since I live here but Carlisle was a lot more affordable. I want to attend the Indy Nats as well since I consider that a Mopar event also.

And couldn't believe how much bigger and better Carlisle was. (Racing not withstanding) bigger swap meet, more cars, better organized, completely laid back atmposhere. 526 cubes of angry wedge, pushbutton shifted, 9 passenger killer!

I believe that was hosted by Jeff Johnson back then........ https://jeffjohnsonmotorsports.com/lonestar.php Looks like there are TWO eventS in Fort Worth, GoodGuys, for you.

Supposed to be a race at South Mountain during this years Carlisle. South Mountain was sold last year to my friend Mike Natoli and wasn't really race ready for Carlisle,but I went anyway and made a few passes.The electronics were not done in time, so we had a Christmas tree provided by the HSDRA and flag men at the end to indicate the winner. I will be there all day Friday this year.One of the coolest 1/8 mile tracks I know!! They also hold the Nostalgia Nationals the same weekend as Carlisle along with the York Reunion.It's a 4 day deal for me.I dig the kickoff car show at the Dodge dealer,even though the RAIN messed it up last year.

Some day I want to go to the big one at Norwalk in Ohio. But for over all Mopar insanity nothing beats Carlisle and now that the Friday night Mopar race is back its even better. This year will be special as we already have our entries and a hotel room as I am bringing my wives 21 year old nephew with his 14 Challenger with me I`m going to show my D150 then race it Friday night and he's going to show his Challenger. 8435016-IMG_0270.JPG (169 downloads) Last edited by 11secdart; 02/19/15 11:01 PM. 68 Dart 410 / 904 92 D150 original owner 21 Ram 1500 Quad Cab, Big Horn , Hemi ,4x4 23 Audi Q5 16 Honda HRV
