Hi buddys,

I've received a job offer from the company that I'm currently working to move to US... So this month I've moved from Brazil to US. I'm temporarily in a Hotel in Grinnell - IA but I'm looking for a place in Iowa City.

I know that's no race season because of the winter but Mopar Friends, let me know if someone wants introduce to me.

Maybe in the future I will bring my car from Brazil. Probably will be the only one Brazilian Dodge Charger in US.

Thanks

Diego

I don't know how to say welcome in Portuguese but welcome, Senoir
I've never raced in the midwest but I have heard that there are a lot of dragstrip all over back there
Have fun, enjoy
BTW, I have a turn key ready to race 9 second flat tube chassis S/P 1970 Cuda on E85 for sale
PM if your interested and want more information

There are a few tracks within a couple hours of Iowa City.

tudo está bem is all I remember of Brazilian/Portuguese I was told it means "all is well" I believe it means "stupid American" based on when and how often I heard it
Welcome to the States and Merry Christmas.

Welcome to the states.. one thing for sure you're closer to California now. Good luck with your new job..

Thank you Man, It's easy Welcome = Bem Vindo. lol... let me find a house and we certainly will talk about your 70 coda.

Yeah, was the first thing that I searched before accept the offer. lol

lol...

Thrust me, Portuguese is to hard to learn.

Thank you Man and Merry Christmas too!!!

Thank you Shiloh, make sure that in first opportunity I'll go to California to see your Dart on the Track.

Merry Christmas Brother!!

We are short on drag strips up here in the Minneapolis area , but once you are acclimated , like most Iowans you will want to come up to the Minneapolis / St.Paul area to spend the butter and egg money.
Mall of America and professional sports teams probably top that list.
We have Grove Creek some 70 miles west of town....an 1/8th mile track , Rock Falls is about 85 miles east , near Eau Claire , Wisconsin , and they leg it out the full 1320.
Then Brainerd International , which doesn't run as often , but has some great races when they are running. They are around 140 miles north of me.
If you are planning a trip up this way , I would be happy to be tour guide.
Welcome to America , and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

If you end up in Iowa City, there are plenty of race tracks near by. Cedarfalls, and Earlville are close. Byron Illinois is a good track also. In June you will have to make the trip to Mopars in the Park, in Minnesota. It's a great show.

Check out Cordova.One of my favorite tracks.

So sorry it had to be Iowa :-)

I'm going to guess, that there will still be more choices of races and shows to go to in the states than back in Brazil. Welcome to the states and Merry Christmas.

Welcome! I grew up north of Iowa City and raced at cedar falls and then earlville when it opened. Without mapping it out I'd think Cordova, IL might be the closest to you.

LOL...ill bet we can both think of worse places than Iowa though.

Earlville and Cordova are a wash, 70 miles to Earlville and 75 to Cordova. Cedar Falls is 89 miles.

Welcome to Iowa! Trust me..I can think of worse places to live! I didn't check the miles but you might be close to Eddyville. I have never run down there but I have heard it is a great 1/8th mile track! Merry Christmas! Ted

Cordova is 137 miles from Grinell........I don't know where Earlville is.
43 miles to Eddyville.
79 miles to Cedar Falls and 135 miles to Earlville according to mapquest.
Never been there , but have heard good things about Eddyville.
They do a big nostalgia hootenanny as I recall.

this is a list of every race track in IA ,,, a lot of go left tracks
