I`ll be the one to throw out a negative comment...Not that anybodys cares tho: I think the overall show was great, Could only go Sat and Sun because of work, Due to no car I took the challenger and stuck it in Gen3 Hemi 120 buck entry total, Class plus 2 bands, Spent over 12 hours at the track saturday and got ONE time run....I`m sorry but to say i`m slightly less than thrilled is a understatement, that was one expensive T&T pass. I understand there were factors involved (oildowns Saturday and weather today) and there will always be priority to faster classes but I still paid a entry fee just like the rest of the racers did. With that off my chest, Again Congrats to Josh and crew, Those of us around here know it has been hard to do a Mopar show here  Rick

Rick,
I think you will change you mind about the "cost" of your time run when the check comes in the mail. Josh took the total advertised prize fund for the class, divided it by the number of entries, and will be mailing your winnings. If I remember correctly, your time run WON you about $20 ON TOP OF YOUR ENTRY FEE.

Scott I understand and please don`t anybody take it like I am throwing a complete fit  I thought There was enough time that I think they could have squeezed in another run for us, that was a long day  but maybe i`m mistaken....I guess it is more of a case of me having a unknown and needing a little data on it. BTW when you said "nobody has rain tires" this morning on the PA, I appearantly didn`t yell oud enough. I did   Rick

Thats fair maybe more than fair . 
I believe josh and his team knows the time run issues and will be reviewing that also .Everyone wants to be treated equal with what they paid in entry's and make some pass's down the famed track .
As I saw open time runs on Friday could work for most .Sat scheduled runs .

throw my 2 cents in,, it was a great event, i didnt get to race, we was on the car show side this year, my nephew recieved 2 place in the show for 71 b bodies , great for a car that hasnt seen daylite for 3 years!! thank you , the announcing was some of the greatest i have ever heard ,! got to see som tremendous racing, yes rain sucked!, times runs was the only place i would say was a downer for some, 4-5 times runs for a class to many! when some only got 1 so that needs addressed for next year, as for the show staying at indy,, if money allows us next year we will be there, it is exspensive trip, with gateway back open , and if the mopar gods have there way, there will be a mopar show here for us here at gateway! so that will be the deciding factor as well , after all this is where it all started, only fitting that it has a mopar show, ! other than that , josh dont dish us at gateway,  If Gateway reopens next year, we will move the event back. But we need everyones support until then. -------------------- Monster Mopar Weekend September 23rd, 24th, 25th 2011 at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis

Let me make a small correction. No class only got one time run. All classes in competition got 2 time runs on Friday. The Hemi class were basically the final class on the schedule to run. So the Hemi cars got 3 time runs. Our friend only got one because he showed up Saturday morning. Had the rain not hit, he would have gotten another Saturday and another Sunday morning. He is getting a check and it sounds like he made money on his entry. Saturday did run long but its that time of year and cars are making more power and they are worn out from running all season. AKA breakage. We had an hour from one incident alone and a couple stops for sprinkles. Now for my positive comments. I dont think that any of us expected the car count. WOW! All statements about making you feel wanted were spot on. My wife drove in Friday night and when I came in Saturday he asked me what I was paying for. I said I brought a spectator today and he thanked me twice. I made the mistake of driving my scotter through the midway to get air in my tank. Holy Moly that place was packed. I drove back up the return road on the way back So we have the gamblers race and we get to the final and here comes Josh. "I got a $100 bill to the guy with the best reaction right here" So after the race, he gave BOTH of us, YES BOTH, a $100 bill. How cool is that??? The only constructive criticism I can think to give would be to have the race information with regards to payout and schedule easier to find on the website. I think Josh is already on that one anyway. Cant wait for next year... and oh BTW there might be two events next year
