Mopars have done well at this event in the past. A quick review of the track website's archive pages find that... In 2009, Dennis Garrett's 1975 Dart Sport was the $$$ Class runner-up. In 2008, the 1/4 mile trophy class had an all Mopar final with Frank Bremenour's 1934 Plymouth and Daniel Imhoff's 1965 Dodge Coronet. In 2007, Andrew Dombroski took the Friday Gambler Race win in his GTX and Larry Prykan took the Saturday trophy class win in his 1966 Satellite.

Why is this race only 1/8 mile?

It isn't "only 1/8th mile".
Friday's optional "gambler race" eliminator is 1/4 mile only.
Saturday's and Sunday's money class is 1/8th mile while both of those day's trophy class is 1/4 mile.
For the racers, there are several positive things that this change in the money class offers.
Moving that class to 1/8th mile allows significantly more cars to be able to meet the expanded ET break. It accomplishes this without creating huge handicap spots and trap speed differences.
It also doesn't force guys who have their cars set-up for the area's "1/8th mile only" tracks at Pacemakers and Magnolia (or D42's Mod point racers who are set-up for the IHRA Bracket Finals which will be run 1/8th mile this year) to switch gearing or have their machine's tongue hanging out every run.
As a bonus for guys who like to race all they can, cars between 12.00 and 17.50-ish on the 1/4 mile can run both the money and trophy classes if they wish. In the past, the ET breaks for the money class and the trophy class didn't have much (if any, at all) of an overlap.

Alot less oil downs with the quicker cars... thats
why they still have the slower classes on the 1/4

Oops, I should have elaborated, if I bring my car there on Saturday or Sunday it will be 'only 1/8 mile'. This event looks like a blast and I've always wanted to go but I'll be at Thompson that weekend running the Heads-up Asphalt Wars event. Gus you won't be able to run that trophy class with your new motor unless you pull a couple spark plug wires.

I've never been up that way but since I have no kids this weekend it sounds like fun. Do they allow camping at the track? The forcast sure looks brutal though Hot and Humid 93 Fri and 92 Sat.
Yes, the track offers camping at no additional cost.
It also has free shower facilities in the new permanent restrooms that were built a couple of seasons ago, but they could be crowded if the turnout from the past few year's Rock and Race events is repeated.
The first 2 days will be the warmest of any "Rock and Race" weekend, but will be similar to last weekend's event which was certainly tolerable.
It sure makes you appreciate the grassy pits and shade trees at Dragway 42.
Imagine putting up with these temps on one of the "blacktop, blacktop... nothing but blacktop" facilities.
Latest forecast for Sunday shows highs in the 70s.

Couldn't make it down Saturday (daughter was in the hospital over night) - Anyone going down Sunday?
