Well I understand the why and also understand the crowd involved. This has to be the hardest crowd in all over motorsports to please, the Mopar crowd that is. Seem like all they want to do is complain, then spread the word. This has been IMO a largely self inflicted wound. Every year I hear about people complaining about parking, entry, weather, swap meet blah blah blah. Then spread the word about how this was bad or that stunk then viola, you have an event in trouble. I applaud the Painter family for sticking with it, unfortunately knowing the Mopar crowd as I do this will mark the beginning of the end for this event. They will now have yet another reason to not attend this event. I hope I am wrong and that all you Mopar guys out there show up in force and show the Painter family they do not need other makes in all the classes. However I feel the opposite will be the outcome..

At the last NMCA West race in Fontana. My mopar was one of about 6 on the property. Out of probably 300 cars and Had a great time

I go to MATS because it is a Mopar race. Don't get me wrong I own Chevy's but I can race a lot of different tracks that are a lot closer to Dallas and have better payouts. I will be canceling my rooms on Monday. I can use that gas money to do 2-3 local races. 👍🏻👍🏻

I can't believe you guys still can't go and spend time with other Mopar racers (Friends). Race, see Friends and other nice Mopars, eat, drink, lay-back and socialize. Life is GREAT, enjoy it.

I race brand X all year long. I couldn't care less if there's a GM powered car next to me as the payout is outstanding for being out west. I'm in if I can find a place to keep my stuff for the Spring Fling. I'll be one of the few Mopars there too, who cares. It's more about being able to meet and hang out with people I see online all year. I can't believe you Texas guys. I know you have lot's of local options but, who doesn't like Vegas? Don't be sceerd!

Well I've got B1 Polara replaced with an owner of a 70 Mailibu.... Im there... Coolers will be packed.... fun will be had.... No Cannery for me... We'll be in the pit area livin large!!!

I've been watching the fuel deal myself..... If you want to pull your car ANYWHERE, it looks like this might be the summer to do it. I just can't get enough time off work to pull off the Norwalk deal.... but have eyeballing the Gateway schedule in St Louis as there is supposedly a "muscle car" race there as well slated for October IIRC....
