All the VIN readers, numbers matching, date code wannabes these days. Clean original cars will always be cool. But, as long as they look good, sound good and run even better is okay with me.

Shows/races being held in the hottest part of the summer is the biggest turnoff for me.

I am a drag racer first and that takes priority but when I am not racing I attend a few shows and cruise nights with my D150 , most are a good time I enjoy people looking at my truck and asking questions . I have even managed to win a few first and third place trophies / plaques which is always a surprise and appreciated. I really like old trucks especially Dodges although there aren't many around and you don't see many. The amount of effort people put into their vehicles is amazing , all I did was take really good care of a truck I bought new 31 years ago that alone amazes a lot of people especially when they see the window sticker I display. I don't really have any complaints , what I do find is how much different people are from show to show ... one show my truck hardly gets anybody looking at it and another people are all over it of course at the Mopar shows it gets the most attention. I have noticed that at some shows there are a lot of late model cars and trucks as long as they are contributing to the hobby and enjoying their rides I am ok with it!

I used to enjoy the short-lived ones they did at Heartland Park mid '90's
There was something for everyone! Show, swap meet, slalom course, drag racing. All in a really nice paved facility!

I went to Mopars on the Mississippi in Dubuque Iowa this year met the famous Rhinodart who brought me a trunk finish panel for my 69 GTS. Picked up a few other items and enjoyed lots of cool Mopars! I really miss the drag racing but I no longer race so I could take my time and enjoy the show!

I think that a couple of years of rain in a row killed it among other things. I sold my 71 Cuda convertible to a KC guy at that show. RIP Norm. A buddy said that the HPAC club that put it on is now doing a show in KC. At least they did this year.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

Screw the heat! Don't want to have people in sometimes unbearable heat!Cooler months are where it's at.Im not worried about people vins or tags.Just bring a mopar. You're in the Mid-Atlantic so you have the same basic climate that I deal with. TRUST ME, the cooler months are also prone to rain - sometimes for days. July and August might be hot, but the rain is USUALLY limited to a shower or a passing storm. I watch the weather patterns like a hawk from April to October Ed B

Hey Ed,shows towards the fall do well!And all you need to do is have a rain date.No biggie it's for the comfort of the people and for some easier for their cars to run in the cooler temps. Still working on times people might like.

Maybe they can get something going at the new Flying H dragstrip in Odessa?

Rumor has it that someone has already been in touch with Flying H about doing a Mopar event next season. Can't wait!

I've seen alot of people that block off the vin on the dash with envelopes, magazines,pieces of wood ,stuffed animals,don't touch cards whatever .Then some people look for the tag in the engine compartment but there wasn't one now that's funny! Looked up the flying H dragstrip it's nice.You guys are lucky this past year they closed atco.

Looked up the flying H dragstrip it's nice.You guys are lucky this past year they closed atco. With all the dragstrips closing, it's nice to see a world class facility being built! Supposedly they got the Heartland Park NHRA date for next year's big event!
