Due to the selling of Piedmont Dragway the new owners have chosen not to run the Mccandless Mopar Classic this weekend as origionally advertised. Please email to everyone that might go.

Herb McCandless Jr

They going to do it on another date?

Hopefully later in the year that way I will have my junk back together and can come test some.

Herb, you Mike and the rest of the family did everything right last year but the weather killed it even though it was still a great show. Why not do it at Roxboro or another track?

I agree. The track crew worked continuously on that track to keep things going. The track stayed good until late afternoon when the final great flood came and they just had to surrender. The organization of the whole event was exceptional. I am sure that the Ronnie Sox, Jake King and the McCandless family had a good time. Herb, Sr. was wide open,riding the golf cart and walking through the pits shaking hands and talking Mopar drag racing, from early morning to late evening on Saturday, even with the rain. I know that the photographs are long gone from the web site(we still have two cd's of photos) but if you had a chance to see those historic mopar drag cars lined up and to see them go down the track was super. Please do try to re-organize this event, if not at Piedmont, Roxboro Motorsports (Person County Dragway 50th anniversay) would be a great choice.

It sure was a blast and when is the next time you think we'll see this?It was awesome to see.
