GOOD!!! The ROCK!! Steve will help any way he can! There is already a Mopar show in the sping,so it's easy to work this in. Columbus has always been easy to work with.Nice track and easy to get to for everyone. Bristol is an awsome track!!!The Mopar race has taken a hit in the last 5years but still a great place! Clay city always a great place to race!! Fans love fast cars! THE BAD!!! The tracks up north are hard as HELL to get to!! Toll roads and DMV take the fun out of it for me. Tech at places like E-town will keep alot of racers away!!!! DID I SAY I HATE THE TRACKS UP NORTH!!!!!! LOL A series is a great idea.I loved the old KOS days.Chit we raced all over for chicken feed.So the money is not the only thing.Places we went made us feel like KINGS. Thanks Lenny and yes I plan to race next year. No toll roads to get to Norwalk, Indy, Milan, Martin or any of the other Ohio tracks. Don't group the East coast tracks with the Midwest ones. Dennis

Edgewater is a 1/4 mile track where the racers voted to run 1/8th.

Can a track really support 2 big MOPAR events in one year? Great if they can but look at MMW and Norwalk being a week apart. They are within a few hours from each other, but it limits people to choose one or the other, and that can hurt car counts. It's going to take a National event style track to host it, and camping at the track is a must. We will NOT go to the NATS ever again because of this. Nothing like having a trailer with a living 1/4's only to leave it at the track, and get a hotel room for the night. 69 GTX 68 Road Runner

I personally prefer Heads-up or Index racing (but that's just me) and I'm in Texas when I'm home so I'm out of the equation anyways. I know there is a Group from Dallas that is made up of all the Muscle Car clubs around Dallas that has a "Muscle Car Challenge" every year and they do pretty much what your describing. Of course including other brands Just so they have a BIG TURN-OUT! Like we agreed; they run 1 race per month each at different tracks in N-E Texas except during the HOT Months. (July & Aug) Good luck!! I'm gonna be watching how this plays out, so Maybe I can pick up some Ideas for putting something together in Tx.

Nice track in ohio is gonna get you. because norwalk did a contract with mo-power so no other mopar race is there. and you already have 2 mopar races at National Trails. which nhra will not allow another one. there has to be 90 days between same brand events. so the the Classics and Mopar nats are grandfahered in.. Call it a hunch but I bet there aint gonna be no Mo-Power event at Trails or Norwalk next season. Here's an update for everyone. Just so you know, National Trail, Norwalk, Kil-Kare, US-131 and Pittsburgh are all parties to a "bankruptcy". Knowingly or not, that means they are unable to book any new "Mopar type" events without permission of the court, which won't happen. However, I am planning the all-new Chrysler Power points series, hopefully for 2012. I've had a nice conversation with Josh and he did a Kick A job at Indy, especially for a newbie. Keep your ideas coming. There is definitely a Mopar Points Series on the horizon! I'll share more details with folks in person at my Ohio Mopar Expo in Columbus, November 19th. 6912357-JJduster2.jpg (46 downloads)

Josh and Mark were a breath of fresh air and did a great job with MMW, the last thing they need to do is get involved with that old mess and those that made it that way. There is way too much baggage involved and lots of people don't attend those events anymore (myself included) because of the way the events/races were handled and how the racers were treated. Josh has proven that he knows how to put on a race and treat the racers. '65 Belvedere '68 GTX '57 Dodge pickup

Thats why I try not to mention them. Again its nice to have someone who has been in the business such a long time speak highly of me and my event, I do not want to bring on any negative feelings about anyone. Just not my style
