We have some awesome new stuff 2017

11.50 Index

First Thanks to Gentry Auto for the idea and sponsorship of the 11.50 index
.500 pro tree similar to the CRT 10.0 shootout as far as rules. (I owe Don a call to finalize)


JR1 Racing Oil has become the title sponsor of MMW and they are big proponent of advancement in oil especially on the Stock and Super Stock category. So we are going to have the first Annual JR1 Drag Pak Challenge - we are looking at something like this for a layout but please be aware this is a rough draft and will be finalized soon.

$1500 to win
$150 entry
All Drag Pak powered vehicles allowed 5.7/354 Blower Cars/5.9/6.1/6.4/426/512 v10cars
Bracket race sportsman ladder Qualify based on time under national index?
If 2 cars of the same class meet during eliminations cars will run heads up no breakout

HHP Performance has come on as the sponsor of the 1st Annual HellCat Shootout bringing the absolute fastest Hellcats in the country to Summit Motorsports Park which should be a pretty killer show

Gen3 Performance has also stepped up to sponsor the 1st Annual Gen3 Performance Hemi Showdown. Gen3 Performance is the latest manufacturer in the industry producing the only aftermarket Gen 3 Hemi Block.....as seen on Tv in Rob Goss' x275 challenger

Both of those classes are in the finishing stages but by mid February we will have rules posted. The basic idea is going to be Index style racing similar to NSS to create something different than a standard bracket race.

As always we will feature Big Dog, Super Pro, Pro, NSS, Hemi Super Stock, Sportsman Trophy and King of the Street

Sounds great.

340Rick is the new owner of a drag pack car. He is going to be excited about this.
Good going Josh , this is going to be quite a shindig!!!!.

Great to see the added classes with some NEW iron getting some love.

Thanks Don for stepping up and getting another class going to help keep interest in this great sport we love. Also props to you and Josh to offer up more opportunities for everyone to fit in somewhere and be competitive


See you at both of these events!!!!


Russ

I see no mention but are we still running two races, Saturday and Sunday?
Doug

Doug, we are still running 2 races as standard now.

One race Saturday and one Sunday!

Really looking forward to running in the new 11.5 index, and watching the Hellcat class. Love my old Mopars, but the modern stuff is just amazing.

Thanks Josh!!! Looking forward to it as always. I think this will be our 6th Monster Mopar event.

Is there two time trials for Saturday and Sunday in super pro and pro

Usually two on Saturday, and one on Sunday. Lots of cars, and on Sunday people are heading home after racing. That extra time run kills a lot of time.

We will have one time trial on Saturday and one on Sunday.

This is one of our must attend races every year.Thanks Josh for this great Mopar event.

one whole time trial wow ,in a hurry to get to bar ? use to race all day and night on friday and saturday

What some guys have to learn to understand is the more classes the slower the program. Some guys double and triple class so they are getting their 2-3 time trials. Monster Mopar is one of the BIGGEST Mopar races of the year with big car counts so something has to give.

The opposite. We have a very late running program as it is and we have added classes which adds car count.

I would think we all have had are time trials in on Friday and ready to race for some money.

We love to race under the lights but racing till 2am isn't fun for anyone, track personell especially.

Fixed that for you pal

Bracket finals is set up:

Thursday goes 1 TT, the gamblers
Friday goes 1 TT, the gamblers
Saturday is eliminations and no TT

I like that format

I agree, there should be no time trials on Sunday.

Also agree no time trail on Sunday with buy backs it can make it a long day if you go a few rounds

So Josh can we race on Thursday night too???????

If not maybe that's the night you cook dinner for all of us

I REFUSE to attend!!! (ok.... the 2200 mile one way tow and eating up a weeks vacation is a bit of a barrier. Wish I could make one of these.)

I agree no Sunday time trial. Sitting around for hours waiting for your class to run kills this race for me.

I think we finished just after midnight last year on Saturday. Sunday was pretty toasty. Can't wait!!!

It's amazing how lonely it gets late Sunday afternoon.
Doug

Isn't that the truth. In 2015 it was plenty dark when I lost and if I won that round the plan was to spend the night and head home in the morning. But that's OK with me. Hemi and I would have sipped a few drinks and climbed in the motorhome. LOL

Couldn't a guy like you enter more than 1 class if you were wanting to race?

That's a option I've been considering if I make it.

Go figure Ill be in Chicago at the NMCA SuperBowl racing that weekend. Looks like a great race for sure. Not sure when Ill make a Midwest/east coast Mopar race..Maybe J and I need to find a way to caravan one of these deals. He can act like a big dog and fly in and out

I'll settle for no rain.
Doug

Looks like a got a Drag Pak car just in time.....count me in

Thanks Josh

Rick..... You should post a picture of that bad boy you got. Folks it's ultra sweet.

Soo, you going to class race it in NHRA as a stocker or SS?
Or you going to modify some for the shoot-outs ??

Who's Drag Pak did you get?

It's the Mountaineer out of West Virginia

Larry Smiths Mountaineer from WV
Jim yes I plan on running NHRA Stock with it and maybe NMCA too

I saw some pictures of your car, awesome car, definitely first class !!
Glad to see you're going to run it in NHRA, maybe better in super stock. Lots of bad A/SA cars in div. 3

I asked Mike Ross if he was going to run one of his V-10 Drag Pack cars this year but he likes to keep his cars in pristine factory fresh condition Those 2 cars seem to be very well engineered it was all I could do keep from dropping the white one into gear and making a pass down 18
I'd love to hear that V-10 screaming down the track
Josh maybe you could talk him into it
Gus

your right Jim I am looking into FSS/J as a possibility as well

Is that the same guy who had the "West Virginia Hemi" cars?

Eddie and Larry were brothers and Eddie is the one that got in trouble and went to jail. Larry did not go to jail Big Mopar HEMI guys, Eddie more so than Larry though

Thank you! I used to see the WVH cars at Indy every year and always had to stop and drool.

there has been some discussions on this...

At least get one there to show what they looked like the day they rolled off the line at Roush Racing.

Gus

hey Josh, have the rules set for Gen3 Performance Hemi yet?

WELL? I'm waiting. lol

Here you go -

http://www.monstermopar.com/gen-3-hemi-showdown

Let me know what you think

Sounds like a fun class but allowing deep staging on a .500 pro tree may cause some issues.

Josh...... you need to post the rules for 11.50 as well

You are correct...on it

How so?

It just evens the field. It's like top bulb racing were as soon as both cars light both stage bulbs it's go time. Having to wait for the other driver to bump in further creates hesitation in the other driver. Hey as you know it's your race your rules and it doesn't pertain to me. Just bringing up something to think about. Won't mention it again.

Won't be any deep staging in the 11.50 shootout

Ive never raced a .500 pro tree deal, so I wasn't sure on that rule, but appreciate the insight. I have no issue with it staying or going....

I'm not going to be racing in that class but I'm with John on this one. If it's a pro tree then deep staging should not be allowed. If deep staging is allowed may as well just run a normal full tree to keep it even.

We can make that change No problem.


Now, how many people are gonna enter

I like it a lot! My husband wants to enter our Charger R/T in it. I agree with the no-deep staging in both the Hemi and 11.5 classes with the pro-tree.

Thanks Josh!

I'm in on the Gen 3 class, Josh. Keep it pro tree. It'll be fun. Ditch the deep staging.

I'm in sounds like a fun class there should be a lot of fun street cars in the mix.
Gus

Deep staging ditched

Ok - not 100% confirmed yet but there is a good possibility to see the return of another KOS car from back in the day

It may or may not be a black E body...... with a pretty lady behind the wheel.

Josh....... can we schedule the Gentryautos.com 11.50 shootout immediately before the 10.0 shootout on Saturday.
Last time I looked at your flyer it wasn't placed anywhere?

Absolutely Don!

Cool. You da man

Just a reminder pre registration is open one more week.


Golf Cart Rental Info Below

What do we need to get in early Josh

Hoping to get my new Dart out for a test and tune at 131 Fri night if i get a few things squared away.
Hoping its got enough steam to run 11.50, but i am up in the air if it does. We will soon find out.
Just hard to tell on the street.

Racers move in from noon to 6 pm on Thursday, I should be rolling in around 3:00 PM Thursday afternoon, gonna bust out of work early that day.

Do you need a sportsman entry to be in on the 11.50 race or can you get in on the trophy entry The 11.50 race is the only race I intend on running.
Gus

11.50 race is 20 bucks. You can race in anything else you want as far as i know.

Sportsman or any other class that races for a purse to race 11.50 or 10.00

That's what I thought,it was the same deal when there was a stick race years ago. I may have to think about this one, I really didn't want to pay for a race that I wasn't going to be in just to be able race in the 11.50 race.
Thanks.
Gus

Josh trying to finish the drag pak car, if not done in time can i switch classes and run big dog with my dragster

Is it to late to Pre Register Today josh or can i still get it in ?

Only a couple of weeks to go!! Good luck and I hope everyone has a blast!! Ted

ill be running KOS be there thursday.....

10 days to go!!

Ten days to go and 3 cars to get finished I can see lots of late nights

Absolueley. We aren't sure the Dragpak class is going to pan.out.

The NMCA stock super stock class has picked a lot of cars up that we're looking for a place to race.

It only takes two cars to have a race LOL I will be ready, the mountaineer should be there, possibly the motown missile and the ramchargers cars. i would hope a few more would show up, like last year for nss and the hemi cars. i think alot more of them went to your event than chicago. Fingers crossed we can have the same for the drag pak shoot out and have a great turn out.

My turbo turd is coming out of hibernation for my one and only race this year!!! (Getting my Masters Degree right now...)

Planning on 10.0 and Pro... hopefully I don't burn the trans down again this year hot lapping between the two classes again!

BTW... Anyone know what the entry $$$ for 10.0, I couldn't find it on the site?

It's $40

Thanks for coming

How about the entry for pro for 1 day

Josh, I just pre-registered yesterday. I'm assuming Ill get credentials there? If so where? I'll be there Thursday around 6:00
Doug

It's a minimum of $150 even if you only want to make one pass. There is no one day pass

Gus

1 day to go and not much chatter.
Everyone must be thrashing or on the road

Done thrashing so now just packing!!!

Be there waiting to get into Linder's Lot at 8 am Thursday. Going to be a great weekend!!

I've got all the cars done except for dons plastic oil line that needs replace them I'm done ye ha

I hear Super Stock Racer is coming.

LOL ------- we shall see.

Who is that?

I am so looking forward to this hope to roll in about 8:00 pm thursday!

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Bring extra beer cause you'll want to share some with him....

I hope you guys have some good weather, a great time , and come home safe.

ME!!!!

48 Hours to go locked and loaded, see you there.....

Fri looks iffy until later in the day, Sat and Sunday perfect according to Accuweather.

I do hope he shows up - however he should also be bringing the beer!!!!

Oh come on, let's see some of that Ohio/Midwest hospitality.
You should all bring gifts for him.

Maybe someone will buy him an ice cream. Birdtracker

Keyboard racer

I can never understand why you guys bust balls on someone who you want to come out to an Ohio race. He's quiet as a church mouse and yet you insist on stirring it up.
Unfortunately if you NSS guy are going to be there you need to bring your A game as he will be bringing his.
Oh and also bring YOUR keyboard...👌
Sorry I won't be coming out as I'd like to meet you.🏁

No A game for me, I just like to hangout and have a good time.

Oh so stop over and say hello to SSR.
He's a pretty friendly guy.

I'll look him up in the winners circle, I am sure he'll be there.
He's the best, right?

http://www.jandj-racing.com/_about_.html

I agree 100%. Before they judge him, they should first meet him.

Heading out in about a hour .
Oh and it's raining in NY .

Draggin" Wagon showing up?

We are hoping to roll in around 8 tonight.

Josh was way overdue for decent weather at an event.

I just wanna do racecar stuff with my racecar friends.

And hopefully not embarrass myself.

Have a good time guys, I'm going to spend my weekend working on my car in the hope I can race it next year.

Man it's rough seeing all the pictures on Facebook of everyone all set up for the the weekend. Wish I wasn't so burnt out and was there too

Just got to my hotel out by the turnpike outside Norwalk. All the rain today is South of here.
Not a cloud in the sky coming down from Michigan the whole way.
Josh deserves some good weather.
Meanwhile Columbus, Indy, West Virginia got lots of rain today.

Why are you the only one waving the pom poms?? Can you be sure which personality might attend? Is this the 5th or 6th year he swore he was coming?Out of the dozens of personalitys,there are 2 of them that are likable

I do know for sure that he is there, will be racing and cooking filet mignon.
You are not there, not racing and MAYBE cooking skirt steaks😳

More revelations and news as it becomes available

Thursday arival netted us a good spot against the fence next to the scoreboards with electric. Nice sunrise with a cup of coffee at the track this morning. Doesn't get any better.
Doug

Oh snap Al I almost forgot
Go to FB KOS page
Pom poms flying all over there

Ya mean he's not BANNED from there yet?? He is from everywhere else 'cept YB
Maybe that's why he quiet, shamed into staying quiet and we like it that way!
