I realize these races are being put on by the Super Chevy group, but it is just too much of a conicidence not to have done it on purpose. Say they split up the cars and then the magaziens report not enough cars for a good race at either place. Just sayin' Old Geezer Racing

I heard our local track backed off the Mopar Max race due to Indy...So it looks like someone didn't do any research! I doubt if any of our regulars go to Indy...Two big races that close together is a strain on the wallet... Need your rear end checked out? Contact Grizzly!!

It will be hard to not have some conflict as most tracks already have certain dates set up for mulitple venues and then try to add in something else. This year will be tough trying to figure out which races to go to. Josh has St. Louis and the next weekend is BGR Pittsburg race - then at the end of the year there is Norwalk and the following week Indy. Throw in the mentioned series and the the JJ and Sled City races and it really gets tight. Some are too close together to try and make them all so it will be pick and choose. The good thing is we do have more choices!!! Russ

Super Chevy knew about my events, as they approached me about buying/using the name Monster Mopar and hiring me to run the shows. I then learned THEY dont run the shows.....they con tracks into buying the "name" of the event, and then its at the tracks discretion on how the event is handled. Thats why there is no payouts listed, or structure for that matter. The tracks involved have ALWAYS held these Mopar Events on these exact same dates that they are on. This isnt a Series with a group of people putting there heads together to make it the best it can be for the racers. Its a group of people who made up a name "and a bad one" and sold an Idea to a racetrack.... Its then the responsibilty of the racetrack to promote, sponsor, and run thge event. It really becomes "more of the same" only different

No disrespect to any of the promoters, but, I will do what I can afford to do and still enjoy myself. If you like drag racing, support your local track.

When I talked to Laura Gardner at Cordova about a Super Chevy event and a Fun Ford weekend for the other racers,she said Super Chevy is all about the money and Fun Ford is no more. Super Chevy said our track was too small for an event yet we had around 400 cars for the Armdrop Live plus about 8000 spectators. So you are correct on that.... Need your rear end checked out?

On the 14th the VMP promoter is coming to our meeting to discuss the event. I'll pass on any info i get from that that meeting and the what he tells us. But from right now it seems what josh king said is the fact, its up to us and the track to run. Mark 69 RR

However I run in a weekly Points Series at one track and might run Points at another track also ,the NED Bracket Finals are then same weekend as the Virginia race, it s too bad as I went to the Chrysler Classic race there 10 years ago and had a ball! and would go again if it were a different weekend. 68 Dart 410 / 904 92 D150 original owner 21 Ram 1500 Quad Cab, Big Horn , Hemi ,4x4 23 Audi Q5 16 Honda HRV
