2006 Chrysler Classic at Norwalk
some of the Moparts.com members

Those were the days Jim.... we used to have some great gatherings at MaTs out here in the west. While most of us have embraced the entry of other makes (hence muscle cars at the strip)... their are quite a few that quit coming from further distances because it wasn’t “mopar only”. Thing about MaTs, we looked at it for what it was.... a gathering of friends. Their are certainly cheaper events to run with greater payouts, but MaTs was an event where we might only see some people 1-2 times a year..... and we had FUN!! of course a week before MaTs this year the plug was pulled due to “da virus” so an already shaky event was killed off for the year. The status of drag racing out west is not looking good.... I hope it can survive.

NTR has three double-up weekends for the NSS cars on their schedule. We are fortunate here in Ohio as we have 9 tracks and they run a lot of different events. If you like to race you can pick and choose where you want to go. The Mopar thing is dead but drag racing is doing well. You guys on the west coast need to sell out and come over here like your buddy Alguire did.

More than 9, right...

I saw Evan was the new track manager but I guess I missed the Norwalk schedule drop entirely.

This sucks, I always went, rain or shine. (Lately it had been mostly rain).Curious what he means by a major event in the spring. Maybe something not under the Classic name. I hear the February swap meet is now all makes.
One thing I am sure of, the folks that sat at home and bitched about the show instead of supporting it to try and make it better won't have that event to complain about from the couch anymore.

Lots of amazing memories with you guys at the Chrysler Classic races, what a blast we all had.

So what becomes of the Mopar Nats.

Mopar Nat's still go's on. It was never part of the Chrysler Classic series.

But the track owners say the won't rent the facility to any independent promoters.

2nd sentence..."with the exception of the Mopar Nats..."

Also Import Faceoff and the Summer Fling big money race..

Sooo.. I think the track owners are just being very picky on independent promoters. Promoters who bring in big money, which the CC event has not done the past few years.
