You missed the best event in the mopar world. We met a lot of great people and had a spectacular time.
Josh did a great job with a lot of different activities and racing.

Can't wait till the next one!

A bit too far to go for a fun trip. I am on a strict budget building the new car. So maybe Indy in '14. The car should be done and the bugs worked out by then. Maybe he will have a class for my car too....

They should have skipped the time runs today and gone straight to eliminations...Saturday was a prime example that there were WAY too many cars to complete the race (especially with all the people breaking).

I won't be racing at MMW again...too much waiting around. I did enjoy all the Mopars, and would come back to watch for an afternoon, but not race.

This was the first time I lost in the first round and was happy about it (no joke), because I could go home and watch some football.

Congrats to all the winners at Monster Mopar this weekend..........



453 Race cars and more show cars.....

Bigtime, Guppy, Chuckles, Mikey Clams, B1Johnny, Clinton, Russo, Fat Pauly, ZOOOM, My canadian Hemi Super Stock friends and all the other great racers that made the long journey.

Especially Keith Mckellar.....your advice in invaluable........

Thanks for all the patient racers.... we can't anticipate the weather or the oil downs.... but we did the best that we could with the cards that we were dealt.....

We had to call the free Box and No Box Race on Saturday after the first round because it had gotten to late in the night so we split the purse since we did complete 1 round and we had to try and press through getting both quick and victory nss as well as extreme 10.5.....

John Jr Did wreck his super pro car but still the won that round...... as to be expected.

He isn't sure what happened but as he got on the breaks coming up to the stripe and the car turned sideways and hit the wall.... I couldn't get to the end of the track fast enough and he was back in his pits to get his other car ready for the first round of quick....
