Here are some pictures of the different Moparts Members we were able to find around the pits or in the staging lanes or on the track.

Jesse here's your launch. WOW!! Look at that!


Chris??? was pitted two doors down from us. He was a really nice guy as well and came down to visit numerous times.


Hemiparts was pitted on the other side of us.


RonP your all around great guy.


One of Hemiparts and Dartgirl while she is being interviewed by the Speed Crew.


So there are a few Moparts members that we got the honors of meeting. Here are some more highlights from my weekend at the track and some of the cars that made the field of 64. Enjoy guys and gals!

This car made the field of 64


This guy and his dad traveled all the way from Long Island NY. You might know him from the Englishtown Pinks All Out as he made it into the field of 16 in an Orange Dart. I think they made the field of 64 in that same Orange Dart.


Ok, this is not a Moparts guy or Mopar. But I have to give these guys some credit. They spent the entire weekend working on the car only to make I think two passes down the track. They ended up making the field of 64. They were also our neighbors and were truly amazing people. They race Chevy's but are Mopar fans at heart.


I once again got the pleasure of running a time trial against one of the guys to make the 64 car field.


Rich getting ready to announce driver names.


Some of you may remember Bill and Joan Ritts from the Chrysler Classic races. Well, this Cuda is a buddy of theirs who made it into the field of 64.

Here are random pictures from my two interviews with Speed.

First interview of the day taken in the staging lanes. This interview turned into being what looks like might be a feature covering me and my sister.


Me and my two boys yelling "Pinks All Out"


I got a surprise interview from Clay. I was told that they added my car to the list for interviews after it broke on the track. After talking to the guys, they say that this piece should be added into the show. So we shall see. They got video of the ENTIRE car.


I couldn't believe how close that darn camera got to my face LOL!


I think by the end of the day I ended up getting around 20 - 30 minutes of interview time.

Thanks Allen. So will we be seeing you in Columbus in a couple of weeks? Can't wait to see the show when it airs. It's gonna be AWESOME. With everything, they should make this one a 2 hour show. I have no clue how they will cover everything in just an hour.

There were a large number of mopars there and moparts members. I sure wish I could have met some more of you. We were pitted so far from the starting line that after walking back to the trailer (approx 1/2 mile) I was too tired to go roaming around.I'm sure sorry you folks had some engine trouble I saw you and your sister in the staging lanes and you have some nice rides,good luck with the rest of your season. I guess the next Gearjammerdart report will be the nitrous passes on this motor and then on to the space shuttle engine(W-8).Here's donald and cousin Richie in the lanes...

I totally agree with you when it comes to the length of the pits and not to mention the heat didn't help either. We had our 4 wheeler, drove up to walk around the stands and still were to tired to stay up there. Went back to the pits and just waited for the call. So I totally agree with you about track size. Thank you for the compliments on the cars as well.

We should be at Columbus baring any set backs looking forward to seeing everyone
They'll use that fancy TV magic to squeeze all that footage in, I hope they dont cut it up like they did Norwalk there was SO much that didnt make it in I was mentioning everybody and none of it was on the show

Someone needs to buy the W2 motor that just ran 9.90's @ 3270# so we can finance the front end from Bob's Pro Fab and building the headers.

Come on Chris step up and buy it! You might even get the friends and family discount, LOL. Donald might not want to let it go now that he's a TV star.
