Same. The club I was a member of was the host/sponsor for the that meet. I volunteered to work a gate. Those of us "working" went up the day before for an orientation of sorts and was given a ride on the big track by the site engineer/manager in a full-sized van. We're on the straight accelerating and he is spending half the time looking back at us talking. We're coming up to the first bank at about 90 mph and he's still jabbering away, and my butt is starting to pucker. At 90 mph, that bank looks like a 90° left hand turn that we'd never navigate at 90 mph. We hit that thing and you could feel the force shoving you into the seat. He's still looking back and jabbering. Then he says, you guys look a little nervous, and the passenger in the front seats says yep. The driver says no big deal, "watch", and he lets go of the steering wheel. We were about 1/2 way up into the top lane when he did that.

Mid 80s Father's day show at Brad Rook's farm in PA

Debbie and Allen Clark divorced several years ago and the Bee was sold.

Tom James bought it ( general mgr of the former Joe Kidd Dodge ,,,dealership is now closed btw )

I heard a rumor a couple years ago he has since sold it .





As far as my 1st All Mopar show I think it was the 1st Mopar Nats in Chelsea MI. I'd been to a few local shows and even a trip to the Car Craft Street Machine Nats the prior year I think in Indy

Odds are I was at this show, somewhere. I recognize a few faces and a lot of the cars.

Mopars at Englishtown in NJ I believe in 1991. I had never seen so many beautiful Mopars in one place before. I was so excited, it couldn't take waiting in line to get into the facility. My then girlfriend, now wife of 27 years, thought I was nuts. She loves the old cars too though. It is a shame that show is no more. It was a great one.

Of course!! I'll tell you, if you've never met him, he is a REAL CHARACTER! I wish he was my neighbor - we'd be doing stuff together all the time. As Don Cherry would say, he's a "real beauty." OMG he can get me laughing........

Mopars @Englishtown 1987

Chrysler Stamping Twinsburg Ohio 1988 or 89

Mopar Mania - Lockport, Illinois - held on the grounds of someone’s farm.
This show I believe was the predecessor to the Chicagoland Mopar Connection show held in Oakbrook Terrace and then later held at the Chrysler plant in Belvedere, IL.
Just by luck someone saw a Facebook post about my TA being at the Mopar Nats in 1984 in Indy.
The guy was nice enough to send me pics of my car at Mopar Mania; probably around 85’or 86’. Long before I owned it.
Pretty cool!!

That was my first all mopar show as well. particularly nice was the side by side ss racing. A lot of unrestored brutes doing what they were made to do.

Mopar Nationals 1991, have only missed one since (for health reasons)...not counting this year

The first Chryslers at Carlisle in 91 I think it was.

Monster Mopar @ Gateway in the early 90s.
