We had a great time in 2023 and finally put together the video recap from this summer's race.

We got most of NSS on Saturday night since momma helped organize things.

Plus we got the late rounds of Sportsman, Pro and Super Pro Rounds on Saturday.

Our buddy Pozest was on a tear and won Sportsman and Pro on Saturday.

Do us a favor and click 'Like' on YouTube if so inclined (really helps the algorithm).

Mopar Madness at 42 video

Thank you for posting this , awesome video . Gary

Think, God willing, I might make my first visit to Dragway 42 for this event.

We always have a good time spending the whole weekend with good friends.

You will love this track. The “slop house” has some good food and the staging lanes are gravity feed downhill. Probably the worst thing about the track is the dust in the pits. There’s 1 to 2 feet of dust pulling into your pit spots in many of the parking spaces. The pits are pretty dark but he’s working on that.
