It is now less than a month away. I know I know some will complain its not a Mopar only race anymore, but it is still overwhelmingly a Mopar event. Ill be there as always just curious who else is coming.

It's something like 10 hours from me now, instead of 18, and on the "try to make it" list...

I'm tapped out from SEMA, and no ride to slide into. Just have fun for me and maybe next year I can get something done.

Wife and I will be there. Guys quit your bitchin about how far it is. It will take us 4 days to get there from south Florida and we're hauling a pair of 69 GTXs. Both GTXs are entered in 3 classes.
Since I'm now retired we plan on staying in Southern California for a few weeks. We plan on running at Barrona, Bakersfield, and Irwindale while out there.
If you see us stop by and introduce yourselves. It's always nice to meet fellow Moparts members in person.

Its already been out three times. Being that they may not have a class I can work on my stop set up I am on the fence. Only 1/4 mile class I can run is Mopar vs The World. S/Pro is likely going to be 1/8 mile. So not really sure.

I have a little worl to do on the stop stuff. Index here is 11.05
