dak, i think you are crossing up some lines here....

its a bracket race, not a heads up deal for the most part.

and own monster mopar so I have a bit of experience under my belt now.

you are correct on the the south thing. I know Donald pulls racers from all over, but he does that with a 20k and 10k to win purses in 5 or 6 different classes. I happen to be meeting with him at PRI to look at doing a similar race in Indy. But also remember that outlaw races and Mopar races are not the same. Those guys all show up thinking they have a chance to win, so when the purse looks like his does
WINNER-20,000.00
RUNNER-UP-2,000.00
SEMI'S-1000.00
1/4'S-400.00
1/8'S-200.00
It doesnt matter how top loaded it is because people will come for that chance.

i do agree on your time line for sure...stay out of the hot weather!

Still a 8 hour drive, but would drag the car down for that.

Point series could be iffy ,if your chasing a home track point series also .
Chasing a series with points = hows the weather, how far drive ,whats the prizes at end of series .

Wheres the banquet being held ?

I would really wait on a pts series ,run another year with couple of tracks .Get more feedback from racers ,showcars,swapmeet vendors .

Joliet
Gateway= 1st favorite
Beechbend
Memphis
Indy = 2nd favorite
My 6 hour drive .

The payouts are good ,better than any other series ever .

Another idea add another day to the racing weekend that would open more track time for those wanting track test time .And weather adjustment to run the program if needed .

I would do 10-12 hours for a well run event. Milan, Norwalk, Beech Bend, whereever.

Milan really needs and could support a good Mopar event. They do have a Mopar Day, but it's always the Sat of Labor Day weekend, and that affects turnout.

Need to go to MIR so all the east coast folks can race some of these races. If your going to have them all at tracks within 200miles of each other you might as well just have them all at Indy.


One day I will have something cool here.

I agree the Northeast guys need a race as do the guys in the South. I would stay out of Maryland, New Jersey, New York. If you have a rig with more than two axles in those states the tolls are brutal. Memphis is a nice track and not that far of a pull for a fairly large area. Draw a 500 mile circle around Memphis. Pennsylvania is about as far east as I would go. In some states you can go 500 miles about as easy as 250 in others.


Getting old just means you were smarter than some and luckier than others.

My wish list kind looks like this

A nice track in Ohio
Indy
Englishtown
Pittsburgh
Martin Michigan / Milan


Englishtown is probably more of a stand alone event from
The stand point that much west of Pennsylvania would not make that trip except for the diehards. it would still be on the points series but I really would be looki g at a completely different group of people to attend that event.

Yea, you could call it the Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan MOPAR Event. Spread it out some there are MOPAR racers on the East coast and in the South too. Bristol, Norwalk, St Louis, MIR, Zmax, I would travel to all of them.

You gotta remember, some tracks won't host more than 2 "Mopar" events in a season and it's getting pretty late in the year for reserving a date for next years season. That's why I have "The Spring Nostalgia Nationals" at National Trail Raceway June 23&24, 2012. Trails has 2 "Mopar Events", and seeing that Trails is my home track, all the Mopars show up for my event and a few of the other brands too. I hate the term,"Mopars Against The World". We had a good old time final race for the money in Nostalgia super stock . Thunderbolt against a 64 Dodge. I am wanting the 2 to do a best 2 out of 3 for next year. Thunderbolt barely won by INCHES ! You can see pictures of the event at www.sledcityevents.com

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..

Would like to see a "TRUE" foot-brake class,,no trans brakes, no throttle controls/2 steps. etc....just the car/driver, and their skills..


If you like drag racing, support your local track.
