Last time I checked, the Woods were driving Chevy's I thought you Mopar guys were footfeeders?? Only 54 cars at SGMP's 5grand footbrake races, why aren't you there?? Why are YOU here on this site...the CHEVY sites will welcome you...??

I have heard the same arguement that vs. the World makes it just another bracket race, really?? The bracket races I attend have 2 maybe 3 Mopars total... I don't see it, a track with 50-60 Mopars vs 50-60 other brands is NOT just another bracket race. Keep that form of thinking and that race will not exist, with no one to blame but yourselves. You just don't want to lose to a chevy of ford like you usually do. [/quote I could care less about who I win or lose to but for me its not worth a 12 hr round trip and the expense of motels to go run a regular old bracket race and any way you slice it if it is all makes then I can drive 45 minutes and do that at a fraction of the cost.I have to pick and chose my races as my funds are limited. 70 duster full chassis super pro 416 CNC Indybrock heads 727 w/brake best so far 1.212 60 6.219 in 1/8 at 110.88 9.768 at 137.81 1/4

That being said I had a great time at the SGMP race a couple years ago when they had the 10.00 fast 16 race and all. I didn't go last year because everything went to 1/8th mile racing I am not pulling that far just for another 1/8th mile race. I love the Mopar shows but they are all disappearing and I think a large part of the reason is that they have been turned into just another bracket race, they just aren't special anymore.

Always was junk always will be junk....thats why parts are so cheap for them. Just picking but I do HATE a Mopar vs. the World event. They did that in Atlanta and that didnt take off either.

Thor500 mopar Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 625 Florida-West Coast	I moved to Florida from Pittsburgh in 85' and Mopars are not nearly as popular down here, especially at the track. It hasn't changed a bit in all the years. I'd go back to SGMP, I was there in the smoke a couple years ago, I do think I'd think twice if it was a vs. world race. Had a bad experience at Moroso at their old Mopar show/race all the local chevy guys were treated like royalty and us mopar guys were treated like out-of -towners. Guy told staging lanes were closed and I had missed my time run and as Im turning around he motions a chevy guy to come on in...

I only have a 4 hour tow to get there but have some friends that pull 10 hours from NC to this event... Hopefully the economy will let more people attent this year... I understand its on the schedule even though its not published yet....... Mack Reeves SST 2377 FS/D 2377
