I would like to add that most of the hotels listed are new or nearly new so I would expect them to be pretty decent. I don't know that for fact though as I only live 7 minutes from Waxahachie and haven't needed to stay at one.

All indications are for a great turnout, not only for the Racing - for the Car Show as well. Unstable weather has played a factor in past years. This year the weather appears to be very favorable, stable - in the mid to high 80's with lower humidity and partly cloudy skys. Major factor is this year we have four sponsors plus the Texas Motorplex who have stepped up to Guarantee the payouts in each class. So, everyone come on down and be a part of what we think is going to be a Stellar event !! Bill Boon www.moparsatthemotorplex.com

How is the overall turnout looking for race and show?
I think we've got 4-5 for sure heading down from Amarillo...I am on the fence.
Weather is looking good....come on down.

Finals are on the schedule for 4 - 4:45 pm. If we have a super large turnout, which is looking quite possible, finals could be pushed back an hour or so. Suspect if that happens you should be out of there by 6:30 - 7:00pm latest, which is a good thing especially if you're in the finals. Bill Boon www.moparsatthemotorplex.com

I just wish they would start holding this event at Dallas Raceway
Instead of Ennis. Spending hours in the staging lanes in between passes
as usual is not my idea of a well run event. Then listening to the douchebags
in the anouncer booth talk about a Dodge Cuda gets to be a bit much. Then
going on and on about his Corvette is over the top. The No Talent
Ass Clowns in the booth called Super Pro to the lanes, then the tech
Inspectors (no talent ass clowns as well) asked what we were doing in
the lanes. In addition, you have to worry about catching hepatitis if you use
the bathroom using their facility. Sorry for the rant, but most local
racers around North Texas would tend to agree.

The 5th Annual 2012 Mopars at the Motorplex is in the books. Want to thank all of those that came out and supported the Car Show, Race, Swap Meet and the spectators too - thanks for buying the Tee Shirts - thanks for taking the pictures, thanks to Mopar Action for presenting the event, thanks to members of Cowtown Mopars Club, Dallas Mopar Club, DFW-LX Club, my wife Becky, Staff of Texas Motorplex, and the many others who came out to give us a supporting hand. A large THANK YOU to the participants for helping this years event be a successful one. Hope to see everyone next year, let's make it even better !! We will post some pictures and results in a day or two, thanks.
Brian good to see you there, even though you weren't racing - your support was appreciated. Darren, really sorry your experience was less than stellar. We tried very hard this year to please every one, guess some areas fell through the cracks - we will strive to do better for all next year.

We had a good time! Weather was a little warm but the wind help it out a lot. The track went way down hill as the event went on but that is to be expected when 70% of the cars racing are on street tires. The Challenger went 2 6.05's in time trials and in the final I dialed a 6.18 because of the starting line condition.  It was still a fun race to be at and a win never hurts. 
I left mid way thru eliminations and already thought you were a "lock" to win Jacob. Glad to see you out there....was going to say hi, but every available time you were in your car and I don't break anyones routine or concentration.
