We can all still support the M M W series, This is just another Mopar show, that G M P needs support for.
If we do not support our local track we can ill afford to have it close again with no hopes of it returning or getting better for any racer!
And just because we decide to go to this event has no bearing on Josh's event ! Or our support for his show,, As seen in the past , we do support it, and we acknowledge what Josh has done for the racers!
 ....They screwed josh, So screw them!!!

people keep asking me why I am thinking about calling it quit's this is a perfect example why, I am tired of all the politics and he said she said BS everybody needs to grow up and go racing I for one am going to support the track that I have raced at since the late 60's and have a good time, I commend Josh King for his support of MMW and the guys that support him I also support him but just because he's not putting on this show is no reason not to go I guess you guys won't go the the Mopar race at the Strip or the Mopar Nationals either by what you are saying because Josh King is not putting them on either my rant if I made anybody mad O'WELL

I ran the car show last year at M M W in Indy and will NOT support the new Mega Mopar Series wherever it may be run.  Josh has worked his butt off for the Mopar community and I will NOT support a series that pushes it's way into the Mopar community and dictates the way things are run just because they think they can, any questions? 
Josh's M M W is not the only Mopar event!
It's all good! whether you decide to go, or not, Every Mopar event needs support from it's racers, If you have decided to not attend , that's fine, that's your decssesion, we respect that,
Do I believe G M P made a mistake,, YEP!, But it one that is made, and we have to make the best of it! and support the track in at least putting on a mopar race, and for that matter,,and coming out Stating it will the same payouts as past events,!
Even having the track open! If the track should close Again,, the racing world in and around St Louis will be devastated to say the lest, and a lot of great racers will go away as well !
There are tracks every where that make decessions that racers disagree with , but still support their tracks.

This is a true statment it did/would devastate our local racers, When it did close for example the local chassis shops suffered, our only speed shop closed for good, I for one was looking to sell my car so when we found out Gateway was goig to be re-opened it was great news. That being said the track/owners need help on how to run a track, I have e=mailed Track and said if you want to know how to run a track go to Summit Track in Ohio, but that was last year 1st year on new owner Lets see what happens next.

Heads up classes are not in any way a majority at any track as Josh says 16-20, so you really could not count on that being a deal breaker whether they have a heads up class or not,.
There always seam to be issues at any track, any event, no matter who sponsor it or run it,
My boss and me sponsor the Midwest Index shoot out at Cole county this year, and the 2 day Memorial Day weekend event as last year, . we will see how the index stuff works as a sponsor, but I will be willing to bet, turn out will be poor,, But some how everyone talks a talk, never walk it!

Yes Track was packed last year was that the first time/year for Josh to run the show? I know it was good not great. Would like to see more quick 16 cars, more parts vendors, why doesn't any Mopar event have the SS Barracudas and Darts show up they were here in the past Horton came from West cost.
