I posted this in the general forum but thought it would be good to get opinion/responses from the race section too. I know alot of guys never look in the general forum. https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...e=0#Post6435445 --------------------------------------------- Since Gateway closed there are lots of rumors flying around about Monster Mopar 2011. One of the latest rumors I heard was if there's no track in the Saint Louis area (at least for now) it might only be a car show for 2011. The thought was to keep some continuity rather than just not have the event until a local track is available. Here's the question/poll. If Monster Mopar weekend was just a car show, swap meet this year would you attend? Please feel free to post opinions.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

Sadly all these rumors of different locations never came from Scott S. the guy who puts on the show. The people who have talked to Scott have said that "his comments were if it can't be in Saint Louis, the show isn't gonna happen". We'll see.

I don't think it's in the cards for a new race location in 2011  . If Scott changes his mind I'll be on here with the news right away, hopefully Gateway is open again next year.......

I am sure that the "Dave Duell Classic" NSS race will continue for 2011. I thought the whole MMW weekend was going to Indy.

  We don't drive 15 minutes to race at IRP, I mean ORP, I mean LORPaI...although for MMW or a Chrysler Classic 
We have attended Monster Mopar for over a decade, skipped last year because of a broken race car. The Dave Duell Classic was THE reason we continued to go. I hope MMW can continue, but if not that Doug is able to carry on his Dad's tradition at another venue. I would love to see this event at Heartland Park, or another Midwest track.
Man, 90% of last year, I would not have spend 2 dollars racing at orp.....but I personally know the guy who took over the track, and I promise you this, there isnt a better track around now!!!!!
If you cant hook up at this track, you have issues

Posted by Mick Cope in the thread in the General Forum, he works with Scott putting on the show and runs the swap meet at Monster Mopar. It should help eliminate some of the speculation. Quote:
Mick here. I've been organizing the Monster Mopar show with Scott for the last 25 years. I know there are a lot of rumors about this years show. I have been talking with Scott and here's what I can tell you. Scott is pretty determined to have the show in the St. Louis area rather than take it on the road. We have done several out of town shows in the past ,Indy, Joliet, and Tennesee to name a few. Putting a show on away from home incurs a lot of added expense, hotels, fuel,extra help, etc. All of those costs come right off the bottom line and moving a show to a new location is always a gamble. Joliet would be a good choice for this year but the two years past that we did put on a show there we met with some resistance from the track and no cooperation from any of the local clubs when we tried to recruit help for set-up, judging , etc. All that being said, we are working to finalize the details on a location in the St. Louis area. We have another meeting with the facility manager coming up and I hope to be able to post this year's date and location very soon. If this deal does work out Monster Mopar will be a car show and swap meet only this year. We feel that is better than to have no show at all. And hopefully we can find a new home for next year with a track so that we can return Monster Mopar to the show you all have made possible for the last 26 years !
Take care !
Mick

Man that sucks!! You know Bowling Green can hold this event and is over $12,000 cheaper to rent for a weekend than Gateway.
