Hello Everyone...I just got off the phone with Tony Thacker, Executive Director of the NHRA Wally Parks Museum in California. I was calling to inquire about registration for the June 19, 20, 21 MOPAR Challenge at the NHRA Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green. Please pass along to all SS/AH teams.

Best Regards,

HOLY COW BATMAN, I could see this comming.

...Tony Thacker went on to state that "as of last Thursday a decision was made to cancel the MOPAR HEMI Challenge due to Chrysler's financial situation, thus an ageement could not be signed."

Hello All...3:30PM ET

I just got off the phone with Ray Barton and he was kind enough to reach out to Chrysler (MOPAR) to see if the HEMI Challenge events at the 2009 U.S. Nationals at INDY as well as the SportsNationals at Columbus is still on being sponsored by MOPAR. Ray Barton has confirmed that YES MOPAR IS STILL PLANNING TO SPONSOR BOTH THE HEMI Challenge events at the 2009 U.S. Nationals at INDY as well as the SportsNationals at Columbus.

P.S. Can I please ask any/all SS/AH racers/owners to e-mail me hemicud@yahoo.com their contact information name, phone & e-mail as I would like to compile a contact database for all of us.

Best Regards,

There is also a Hemi Challenge at the NMCA race at Maple Grove June 4 - 7. NMCA has had great success with their LSX Shootout the last 2 years in Memphis, so maybe this will be a "must attend" event too.
