thru the years i've become fairly bored with the mopar events. they're basically all the same. i'll be at the goodguys that weekend, sorry.
What does a goodguys event have that impresses you?
I have travelled from coast to coast to go to a MOPAR show! And i have never , not once been disapointed!!
I have goodguys shows in my backyard, and i have never been to one.
I dont plan on starting to go to them now either.
So what do they offer that us MOPAR people dont?

I actually kind of agree with him on this........
Mopar Nats, other Mopar Series that have been around, and other all Mopar events have been less than entertaining.
I am slowly trying to fix that.......
The more cool stuff I can get going during my events, the less likely I am to hear this remark.
But.....I wish I could sway you to give it a try atleast once.....I think you would be pleasantly suprised

they have variety, evening events, a diverse group of vendors. they are run by friendly people. go to one and see the difference. mopar events are about somebody bragging about how much their car is worth or some bracket racer telling me how he "cut a good light". if "cutting a good light" is cool why don't people buy tickets to watch it? people will buy tickets to go to a goodguys event who don't know anything about cars, just to look at hot rods! mopar/chrysler products are about something more than bracket racers and 60's-70's musclecars. what about the early 300's, aero cars (not wings), antiques, nascar, nobody invites them. its just the same old worn out theme. i used to be a die hard mopar show goer, but no more. car fun is someplace else.

to your point, Monster Mopar has a Aero Car Reunion that includes the Non Mopar cars like the Talladegas and other brand x vehicles, we also allow brand x NSS cars to compete for the same reasons you mention. Its more about the era than JUST mopars....we do have bracket racing, but atleast we have racing, Goodguys gave that up.

well back in the day M M W was just a Sunday deal, you had a test tune and the jackpot run on sat afternoon that was it, then the regular points meet in the eve if you wanted to run that, you had to go back to the gate get another tech card to run. It has grown over the years as a full blown car show, drag race, swap meet. after being to all of them , never been bored! But I do see that exhibition cars are lacking, its hard because just not to many wheel standers left, Sparticus and son are gone, jets cars just , jet cars? but I'm a drag racer car show guy anyway. I guess you could 'spice' it up with some chebby stuff, froids, nah , they got their own stuff, and you can't you can't run you'r mopars there!

I never liked the Good Guys show. Trailer Queens and a car that's built to the walls with no balls to get down the track, but looks good sitting in the grass..
Oh sitting in the lawn chairs watching the people walk buy is just not fun.
Come to a Monster Mopar show to see the Mopars against the World. (Sound good Josh.)
