Monster Mopar heads....SOUTH Sept 23-25th

I have taken on the racing program at Clay City this year. We have made some changes, added some classes and changed some things for the better I hope.

I will make another post outlining the details that may seem fuzzy shortly but wanted the info out there.

We will follow MMW rules for Hemi, NSS, and KOS and track rules for the bracket classes


Free Hemi race Sat and Sunday 1/4 mile
Saturday payout is listed but we are going to add a high roller Hemi gamblers Sunday as well. In addition the track is throwing another 500 in the pot for the Sunday Race

NSS 1/4 mile NSS Rules
Saturday and Sunday race payouts listed above

KOS 1/8th mile Saturday race only
MMW rules and Payout Structure

Super Pro, Pro, Sportsman, are 1/8th mile Mopars v The World
Mopars will be kept seperate from brand X cars until the finals on each side are complete
Run off between final Mopar and final brand X for the title

The 6cyl class I'm not familiar yet with but will be.

More info to come.

Great track surface. Very nostalgic facility. Great people. Great payout and entry fee structures.

Glad to see you putting on more races Josh best of luck hope everything works out for you

Good luck Josh!

I will be there helping a buddy with his Slant car and racing my Shaker.

Maybe ------

You better pull up your boot straps papaw and head south

Here are some clarifications

Rules for the Mopar Southern Classic cooinside wtih those of Monster Mopar Weekend. NSS Rules also mirror NMCA rules for that particular class.

Mopar vs World Bracket Racing will All Bracket Racing Classes will also have Time Trials and Eliminations both days, Saturday & Sunday, with Mopar vs World in each Bracket Class both days. be ran by bringing all World entries into lanes to run to Finals and all Mopar entries to run to Finals seperately. Winners from the World and Mopar sides of the bracket will then run-off for the Winner & Runner-Up Purse in the Mopar vs World Finals. Runner's up on each side of the bracket receive Semi Purse, and Semi Finalist on each side of the bracket receive Qtrs Purse and Qtr Finalist on each side of the bracket receive the Eights Purse. Track rules apply to Bracket Racing Classes (see below)

Nostalgia Super Stock will consist of 2 seperate races with Qualifying and Eliminations each day for the advertised Purse above.

Super Stock Hemi class will have Qualifying and Eliminations Saturday for the advertised purse above, On Sunday Super Stock Hemis will compete in a High-Roller Hemi Race with $100 Entry and 100% plus $500 added to the pot by the track for the Purse, Qualifying and Eliminations Sunday.

Slant 6 is 1/4 Mile, Dial-in with .5 Full Tree and no Buybacks. Time Trials and Eliminations will run each day for 2 seperate races and 2 seperate Slant-6 Club Points Races.

King of the Street is .4 Pro Tree, Heads-Up, 1/8th Mile; $150 Entry paying $1500-Win, $500-R/U, $150-Semi, $50-Qtrs.

papaw????? And you wonder why I cuss at you no respect for your elders

Can we camp out at the track in our trailers?

Yes

How long is the shut-down from the 1320 mark?

The track is really long. They have had 1/4 mile IHRA events here.

No class for my car.

But the shut down goes down hill, in a big way.

Seems like there's a wall at the end also

Darrell Alderman took his first ride in a pro stock car there sitting on the passenger side tin! Birdtracker

How's that?

The east coast guys will be in the house,,,,,,,

We have 20 Super Stock Hemi Cars who are committed to this event as of now.

I will have a rough count of NSS Soon

I have a big tire, light weight, fast a$$ turbo car.

The track has been lengthened. Back in the 90's the wall of hay a lil nerve racking.

I ran there a few years ago. Much better.

Can I get this pinned please

Two weeks before the event,Josh! Good luck and have fun!!

I wish I could go but probably won't have enough money.

and that's what draws the crowds...

I wish there were more then 1 light weight fast ass turbo Mopar


If you want to come make exhibition passes I would gladly let you in!

There was a duster at MM last race small tire turbo mighty impressive car looked nothing fancy but was bad a$$ fast

JUGHED---BRING YOUR CAR ON DOWN--I'LL LINE UP NEXT TO YOU FOR SOME EXH PASSES SO YOU DONT HAVE TO MAKE A "SOLO" PASS
ITS ALL GOOD--THE MORE MOPARS THE BETTER--I SAY

There will be a turbo duster there in clay city too

Eat a bunch of cheese burgers and bolt on some small tires and lets do this!

Hahaha

Yea... What he said

Josh any thoughts of bring a race down south saY end oct to early nov to say south georgia or gainsville

Scott I'm always looking for opportunities. It's just tough stretching out that far

I understand just thought maybe a race down south at the end of the yr might work out before every one puts the cars up plus we race almost yr round down here

In south west Michigan?

Move to New Symrna beach Florida last yr

WORKING ON ANOTHER MOPAR CAR TO COME DOWN TO CLAY CITY--a bracket car
should run low 11s -----its my buddies and he is excited about coming down with us
I'LL CHANGE MY OIL this weekend on the dart--other than that--she's ready to rock

Looks like I'm in.
Doug

Josh, will I be allowed to run Mod (no box) and Super Street (1/4 mile footbrake) with the same car/same driver?
Thanks, Brian

Thanks for posting this,,,,I had the same question.....

I don't see why not. I have seen many people run the same car in multiple classes at MMW.

Absolutely, if your car fits more than one set of rules you are more than welcome to run multiple classes.



Kinda like Russ pulling double duty in Hemi and KOS.



Right Russ

Thanks, looking foreward to seeing you in a few weeks.

Brian Dunnigan

Awesome to hear Brian!!!

I appreciate all the support from the racers and enthusiasts as we try to give everyone another place to race that's worth the tow.

This is going to be an awesome!!

I think we are almost at 30 Hemi super stockers

I hear Russ is gonna cook dinner one night too!!!!

Dude!!!!! I DO NOT cook but do bring people with me that cook for me sometimes So if you are hungry you can try to bum a meal and if that don't work well I always have beer!!!! May even bring some Devils Cut but I only share with real close friends.....


By the way - what time can we get in on Friday and do they sell 112 fuel there?

Gates open at 3 pm Friday

They do sell 112

Checking to see if Russ is cooking Friday Night or Saturday Night. Thanks / Gary

I already tried to get Dizuster or Chef Jeff to make the trip. Maybe I can
get them to "pre-cook". Russ and I can chill beer though, we can survive on that.
Doug

Dude - I think the people from the "Prestigious Hemi Class" should cook AND supply Beer for all the NSS class!! I mean all of us in the NSS class are wanna be Hemi guys deep down so help pull us up!


Russ

That sounds fair 😀

Chef Geoff would love to go but FCA told me I have to go play in the mountains of Colorado that weekend.

Well if someone would bring a suitable smoker, I would prepare some briskets.... Just an idea

Have fun everyone!!!

thanks for the sticky

Thanks to everyone for keeping these events going.

Josh why you keep leaving me off your list? Cars fixed. Broke converter. Fixed that. Testing at VMP Mopar show this weekend.

Lol.

Because I sometimes cut and paste.








THE LEON HUDSON

Leon did you brake the convetor at Norwalk

Update on Friday.

We are going to open the gates a little earlier and have a Friday night Gamblers race.

Mopar Schedule Update: By popular demand MPD will open it's Gates at 1:00pm (instead of 3:00pm) and remain open until Midnight on Friday, Sept 23. Test & Tune will begin at 5:00pm (instead of 6:00pm) and run until 11:00pm. There will also be Gamblers Races scheduled for Friday Night.
Gamblers #1: 1/8th Mile, Box & No-Box run separate as many rounds/pairs as possible. Gamblers #2: 1/4 Mile, No electronics.
Both are .5 Full Tree, Dial-In/Break-Out, $50 Entry, $20 1st Rd. Buyback. Each Pays $800-Win, $200-R/U, $100 Semi with a 32 Entry minimum for full purse. 1 Time Run will be called at 8:00pm. Those Racers who choose to also purchase Test & Tune can get as many runs as they can before the Time Run and may continue Testing after losing with other T&T cars between Gamblers Rounds.

NICE--THANK YOU,CAUSE team rossio would like at least 1 test hit fri night.
if not --thats ok--- we're ready to rock

---you dont get a "test hit" when you run on the street anyway

KOS to the front --lets get it on


just tryn to excite my mopar peeps

Friday sounds fun.
I will be a test and tuner

No, bent front frame rails.

Gamblers race on fri nite is a nice addition! Thanks Josh!

Brian Dunnigan

Thanks Brian

We figured if the cars were there we might as well race!

And that's the difference between a good and bad race promoter. Most guys are there to race. Great job Josh

Can't wait for KOS should be a great race

I would really enjoy a livestream!!!

you should just come !!!!!!!!!!

DITTO!!

It costs about $5500 to have a live stream at an event.

I would love to have one too.

How many swap meet vendors have signed up?

I'm sorry I'm not sure. The track directly is handling all registration this year.

Looking like there will be close to or in excess of 30 NSS cars. Should be a good turnout for all classes and the weather is really looking good to.

Should pull in sometime Friday late afternoon.

This is the most talk this race has had in 10 years.

KOS THATS WHY...

Glad to hear!!! We need to get people talking more about these races. That is the difference betweeen other aspects of drag racing and ours. It seems to get any excitement. We lack the spirit to just create chatter.

I understand there has to be something to look forward to as well.


Make everyone introduces themselves. I look forward to meeting everyone.

Absolutely it's part of it.

Gup has to fly from Florida to Philly to grab his rig and drive to Kentucky just to bust Birds a$$ again....That's dedication.

Almost 30 hemi super stockers - Joe Teuton bringing 2 cars.

The same or more NSS cars.


Bracket racers traveling from Florida, Georgia and New York City just to name a few notables... ...

WE'RE ROLLING IN FRIDAY WHEN GATES OPEN,IM BRINGING MY BUDDY AND HIS 72 CHALLENGER BRACKET CAR.
JUST got it all back together

Thanks Josh !!

Gates at 9am on Saturday

Flyer says 9:00 am. Looks like I can sleep in sat morning.

See ya'll there!
Brian Dunnigan

Dang, got treed already. I hope this ain't a sign of things to come...

Brian

Josh, are racers going to pit on the spectators side like the picture above, or just the car show & swap meet over there?
Thanks, Brian

We will be there with both dusters

So I was looking at the NMCA rules for Nostalgia Super Stock. Why do they leave out 68 Hemi Road Runners or 70 Challenger 4 speed with a Hemi. We want to play too, but it looks like the sand box is limited to just certain cars. Why make it OK for a 64 to 67 model year B body with a Hemi, but not a 68 models year? Not sure I understand the rule or the rationale.
What class would my cars have to run in? Is there a different super stock class?
Jerry

I'm thinking that we are just missing some details here Jerry

What is your car, how fast is it?

Can you post a picture of the car and engine compartment. I bet we can figure this out

Jerry, you can call me 317 681 4546

Have fun guy's.
Sure wish my car was fixed and I could join you.

What time is the gamblers race trial. I'm trying to time my 7 hr trip.
Doug

Doug,

Here you go!

Gamblers #1: 1/8th Mile, Box & No-Box run separate as many rounds/pairs as possible.
Gamblers #2: 1/4 Mile, No electronics.
Both are .5 Full Tree, Dial-In/Break-Out, $50 Entry, $20 1st Rd. Buyback. Each Pays $800-Win, $200-R/U, $100 Semi with a 32 Entry minimum for full purse.
1 Time Run will be called at 8:00pm. Those Racers who choose to also purchase Test & Tune can get as many runs as they can before the Time Run and may continue Testing after losing with other T&T cars between Gamblers Rounds.

Looks like your finger slipped on the start time, :00?

You are correct.... 8pm for the single time trial for the gamblers race.

Thanks

If he has Hemi cars can't he just run with the Hemi class?

If not like you said we could figure something out.

Josh what I was referring to was your earlier comment about following NMCA rules.
As for the car in question, it is a 68 Road Runner with a Hemi that runs 6.0 in the 1/8th. I think it has a lot more in it, just needs some TLC on the suspension set up.
I Had looked forward to running Nostalgia Class as those guys look like they have a lot of fun and those cars appeal to me.
I will hopefully be there if everything goes as planned.
thanks for doing this for us in the south.
I just do not understand why NMCA does not allow a 68 B body but they do allow a 67 B body or a 68-69 AMC or a 69 Dart 383 or 440.
Jerry

We'll have a fire pit and beer goin after the gamblers Friday night. Come on by. If I remember the wood.
Doug

Jerry it sounds to me like you would run in the Hemi Super Stock Class rather than the NSS class

I don't have a say in how NMCA runs their races and I just follow that rule set as it seems to be the gold standard.

OK sounds like a plan.

I tried my best to make it but unfortunately work got in the way this week.
