I personally don't like the mopar powered only rule. I don't mind allowing AMC but having a Mopar race with GM and Ford cars just doesn't make sense to me. The body is just as important as the drivetrain if not more important. The whole reason we organized the first race was to have a race with just Mopar cars because all of us were sick of being the only Mopar car at races we attended. If you are going to allow this then why not allow Mopar bodied cars with other brand motors? What's the difference? I know this won't sit well with some of you guys that chose to crossbreed but it's just how I feel. Not trying to make anyone mad but you are asking for opinions and that is my

. Good luck with the race, I really do hope it works out for you and you get a lot of cars.

The Mopar powered rule came about originally due to center steer vehicles. Are you going to tell a Hemi powered '23 Altered that he can't run in a Mopar bracket race? If you put a BBC in a Duster, people say you ruined the car. If you put a 440 in a Nova, they say you got it half right. We've run this rule since 1993 and it will not change. Chrysler powered engines required in all vehicles. Plus, aren't AMCs now considered Mopars? Thanks all for your input.

I'm not talking about roadsters and dragsters. I am only referring to the small tire heads up class. And I would never call a 440 in a nova half right, its still all wrong. The Mopar body is thf most important thing to me. Also like I said, I don't mind the AMC cars. I tend to forget about them but they need to be included as well. Look this is just my opinion guys, I am sorry if I am offending you. To each their own.

i am all for the AMC cars--as chrysler did buy them back in the late 80's--i know,i've been a chrysler parts advisor for 27 years now.
now--my opinion only---chrysler power--chrysler/dodge/jeep/AMC body
ford & chevy has their own races--this one is about mopars--if you let a-- example--camaro w/440 race--the crowd will only see a chevy verses a mopar--they will not hear the annoucer say it is mopar powered and it will be confusion to them.
leave the "cross dressing" to california (chevy/ford w/mopar drivetrain)j/k

Brad, thanks for the offer. I have to upgarde to a t400 to handle the new motor anyway so I'm ordering one next week. I hope to get it together for your race.

I am all for letting amc powEred amc cars in, they need a place to race as bad as we do.

I wish someone would donate a car to you so we can get that mopar driveline out of that t-bird, but I don't fault you for wanting to race no matter what.

Re: Mopar Heads-Up Small Tire Race #2 in Ohio - 06/19/11 09:17 PM

The 727 can be made to handle the horsepower but the TH 400 is a good trans. also. The Bird is my brothers all I supply is the tune-up for NOS and 727 Trans. The rest is up to him! He ran a couple of local Q16 Events with it. In our area I know of three crossbreeds like this. There are also two FAST AMC cars out there that have done some heads-up racing. So I am glad you will let them play. Im sure my brother would think about putting the driveline in something else if he had it. His old 70Bee is now a driver. He just cut out the cage and took off the chute and put the original driveline back in it. He tore it up pretty good a few years back and could not stand doing it again so he retired it. I was not going to let him take my 70 Coronet R/T and do wheel stands with it. So he took his work car at that time and started his WARBIRD Project! Jeff Johnson has always allowed crossbreeds and AMC Stuff. So lets race on.

I agree if you put The Original BFG Drag Radial on them it would be interesting. I dont think we would get a very good turn out for the race unless BFG supplied the tires. NMCA/NSCA had a class called TRACTION ADVANTAGE that used these tires and BFG sponsored it. It was popular for a while then MT released there radial and it cam to a halt.

Raced with the first drag radial class which was sponsored by bfg called traction advantage.You have no faith in a mopar tranny I do the warbird has all mopar driveline so I am a believer in MOPAR POWER. Why tear up my superbee when I can tear up a $50 car.Lets race! lol.

I think that the 727 may be able to take abuse but the cost for billet input and outputs and all the junk that goes with its half the price of a bullet proof t400, and I also dont like the idea of needing a 1"midplate with a 727 to get a tall enough torque convertor to achive a pump angle that is steep enough to take the power efficiently

My nephews Brad & Scott are putting alot of effort into making this race as big as possible. I sure hope a Mopar powered T-bird isn't keeping some of you away. The way I see it this is your last shot at having a series to race Mopar Heads-Up. Phillip are you bring the RR up for this race?

Re: Mopar Heads-Up Small Tire Race #2 in Ohio - 06/20/11 02:15 PM

So what exactly are the weights for this race? I think they really need to be lowered to something close to what you would race anywhere else if you use the rules we used in KY. The only combo that has to weigh 3300 should be BB with twins or f-3, nitrous BB should be 3000, 3100, and -400 or -500 for a sb nitrous like everywhere else does it.

Weights are very close to KY Race and they had a good turn out there. We will look at lowering the weights for next year a lot of people are saying that weights are too high. I posted a flyer with the weights on it.

I wouldn't change the weights much other than possibly dropping BB n/a down as there should be a bigger break than 100 lbs between it and SB PA.Your weights are very close to most heads up TT5 series around the country are. JMHO

Re: Mopar Heads-Up Small Tire Race #2 in Ohio - 06/21/11 04:14 PM

Well good for you. I'm just telling everybody that these weights are crazy. You cant expect someone to add 400lbs to race this race and everywhere else they race you can weigh 3000 lbs. If you want outlaw style rules you need the outlaw weights to go along with it. Does anybody think I'm crazy for saying a nitrous car should not have to weigh as much as a boosted car with the same style engine?

I totally agree and I run a 360 inch motor with a Precision 98 mm turbo. Rules are in my favor. I am the heaviest car in our local series, and soon to be the fastest. Lol. I still hold our local smallblock nitrous record at a 5.41. That was 3 years ago at 3263#. Current smallblock combos are 2800# with a 23* head and 2950# with 18* or less. 434 cu in max smallblock nos and 572 bb nos. Forced induction ic 363 max sb and 468 bb. Ann fi car has to weigh 3550#. And sb fi is 3200# with 23*heads or 3350# with 18* or less. This has made our class ali more competitive. But you will never make everyone happy, I can promise you that.

If this is a free entry race,lower the weights so you can get more cars involved,at the end of the day the tire is going to be the decideing factor anyways.and what about a weight break for low deck blocks(lol)

Posted By: silverfish

Re: Mopar Heads-Up Small Tire Race #2 in Ohio - 06/21/11 05:48 PM

Its a tough call. There are good arguments both ways. But in the end I wish we would have lowered the weights for our race. It might would have brought a few more cars in

. If its a series with multiple races then you need all kinds of rules and different weight amounts for different combos. But for a one time race or to try and get something going it needs to be a lower weight so everyone can get there. Every outlaw type race that I have ever raced at had BB power adder cars at 3000#. We went with 3300# on our race just because the majority of the cars were overweight anyway and that seemed to be what everyone wanted. Do what you want but at least lower it to 3200 or so for BB power adder. I do think 3400 is way too much.

I think you're right on the money, but I can see where these guys want to make rules as simple as possible.....More rules equals more Tech.....which gets harder and harder to do, especially if it's only at a couple race/year...

If it were me, I'd had have NO weight minimum......just tire size rule and be stock bodied.....and the clocks would be off too....

The tire will not be the deciding factor. Power management and chassis tuning will be. The tire has been in the 4.50's and not in a 2400# chassis car. It is capable of more than most of our pocket books can throw at it. Unlimited inches, unlimited power adders, no minimum weight, fiberglass hood, bumpers, and decklid only, no lexan and no wheelie bars. Then let em eat boys. Easy to police it this way.

Weights are not even close to other series. You want basically an oulaw radial/ limited street style race, why not use their weights? The heaviest combo shoud be BB with twins or f-3 139 or twin f-2 @3300. No way a nitrous BB should have to weigh the same, who is making more power? And you want a nitrous smallblock @3100 their only down over 1000hp, they should be at a minimum of 2700 lbs. To me you can't say all power adder cars weigh the same say drop na weights 200lbs and say -200lbs for nitrous would get you alot closer IMHO.

I hear ya man, and if there were any outlaw cars coming everything you said would apply. I also agree that 3400 is too heavy for bb N20. A seriuos smalblock single turbo could come there and be very hard to beat for BB n20 cars even if they were lighter, let alone being that heavy. Hell, X275 smallies with a single 88 on a 275 DR went 4.90's @ 150+ mph. Fortunately no serious outlaw 10.5 or O/L DR showed. Outlaw 10.5 cars here run 6.70's @ 200+ mph in the 1/4 mile. This (to me) was more of a small tire, street car shootout, not a heads-up shootout for serious outlaw cars and if one would have shown up, it would have destroyed everyone else there with ease.

All of that being said,the way the rules are there could be a serious player or two that show up, and if they do they will dominate completely. Not sure how to protect against that, the only saving grace is there isn't that many mopar powered outlaw cars around. So the way I see it, the ONLY thing stopping the big boys from coming in and sniping the purse is the heavy weights. Just my humble opinion, your mileage may vary

Re: Mopar Heads-Up Small Tire Race #2 in Ohio - 06/21/11 08:02 PM

To those that think the tire won,t be a decideing factor(on a true 10.5 tire)See how many passes you can get out of them before your 60fts go away...and i,m talking about 7 sec or 8 sec cars in the 1/4 mile or high 4,s or low 5,s in the 1/8th.

Re: Mopar Heads-Up Small Tire Race #2 in Ohio - 06/21/11 08:57 PM

I think the number one limiting factor on this particular race will be traction issues because of a hot greasy track. Middle of July and racing in the middle of the day?! If it is as hot as it was at our race in Kentucky its gonna be brutal racing in the middle of the day like its scheduled. I think that was the best lesson learned from the race we had, don't do it in hot weather months unless you are doing all the racing after dark! We couldn't hardly twist people's arms to go up there and make passes in the heat. Maybe Ohio will be a little cooler than Kentucky?

That would be pretty cool. No time runs or qualifying, just get it off the trailer and take it to the lanes!! Blind draw for pairings and get after it.

Is this event like a full blown mopar event,brkt racing,swap meet,car show stuff?,if so i hope the heads up racers are treated better than years pass at mopar events and its not a ego thing,its about safety and prepping the track right for these fast cars to go on,going fast on the track with a fat tire is a lot diffrient than going down the track with a small tire running the same E.T.

Re: Mopar Heads-Up Small Tire Race #2 in Ohio - 06/26/11 01:15 AM

Old Yeller this is a full blown mopar event and the track will be prepped the best it possibly can.This is not going to be a one time race there will be a points series next year.

Man i need to quit posting when i,m drinking,Seems i keep putting my foot deeper and deeper in my mouth,What $500 you talking about?,I know that theres going to be some heavy hitters next friday at carlisle,so i have to get past next weekend first.,If the t-bird weighs at least 3100lbs and runs on a true 10.5 tire with mufflers i,m sure we can do something, i know i talk alot trash but i also know that theirs alot of mopars out there faster than the bird.

Re: Mopar Heads-Up Small Tire Race #2 in Ohio - 07/04/11 07:12 PM

After reading all the posts and thinking about the weight rules we have decided to make this a no weight rule race. It was meant to be a 10.5 exhibition race with a small purse to see what cars show up and if there is enough intrust to run four races next year with the Chrysler Challenge. SEE FLYER BELOW FOR RULES

No weight rule.

No scale at this track I

messed up on this one. Its not Jeff's fault he was going to run it as a exhibition only with the Nostalgia Pro Stock cars. Then I came up with some Rules for it. So the bottom line is I made a *ss of myself because I assumed there was a scale. The race will happen without the scale.

SORRY IF I MESSED UP ANYONES PLANS ON COMING

I apologize,

is it ok if i dont come??

i dont want to race 2500lb cars with my 3500lb street car

You really expect people to drive far and race with NO weight rule?

Why would i do this??

CAN YOU post an Exact address for the track so i can see exactly how far it is for me? I still cant justify the cost of getting there to get my a$$ handed to me by light cars. The rules are just too loose if you take the weight away.

Update.....its 587 miles for me, thats about 300.0 or more for me round trip in gas,,,figure about 100 or more for food? and thats strectching it....LOL

i cant see coming to this race with no weight rules, sorry

also will IHRA honor my NHRA chassis cert and license?? Also i have no diaper or belly pan yet is that a problem?

Its okay not to come. I know you would of came you seem like a diehard heads-up racer to me. We know your car already exists and will race if the rules are even close.

I think it will be hard for any Big Block car to be under 3000 lbs. even with these rules in place. But I cannot be for sure on this without a scale.

No I do not expect anyone to show unless they want to. I know Andy Mayes, Scott Chopin, Jim K., AND others have all ran exhibition stuff WITH NO WEIGHT CHECK at Norwalk when Jeff Johnson owned the Chrysler Classic and A&A trans. put up a little money to show.

There is no reason to show but to support Mopar 10.5 Racing. You have already proved yourself at KY and other events. I thought you coming would bring out more people to race and try to knock you off but thats not working either.

The address for MCIR is 2303 Richwood-LaRue Road, LaRue Ohio 43332

Thanks, Brad Chopin

Again I understand about the money. It cost us between $900.00 and $1100.00 for three of us to attend a NMCA/NSCA Event 5 years ago thats everything for us and the car. We never got back more than $100.00 a race for two years.

IHRA will accept your cert. no diaper required at this track.

Its okay I was expecting it

. I hope you can make it if not I understand. Maybe with some help from our MOPAR FRIENDS we can make this series thing happen in 2012 with SCALES. By the way before I found out about the scales weight was going to change to 3100 lbs. BB NOS. But no need to talk about that at this point lets see who comes.

Tracks going to be tough guys I dont expect any better numbers than the KY race. Its been 90 plus degrees in Ohio and very humid. I expect 5.60 to 5.80 to be good at Marion. We will see in a week or so who can put a good number down.

I will have hot dogs and soda for 10.5 guys sat.
Looks like we will have a little more purse money coming in also.

Tony I already know you can make it down a tough track like a bracket car. Just wanted to warn everyone just like KY take what the track will give you. There will not be any records set here

. Save that hopefully for Indy in Sept. when its cooler. But this kind of track brings everyone a little closer. I think Ross will be tough at this race also

Who is going to decide what an "all out race car" is? That is way too general of a statement.

Dennis

PlasticFantastic is our Race Director. He works at Milan, is NHRA certified and will make any final decisions.

BTW, I have 4 confirmed entries.

Did I mention FREE FOOD? Our Friday night hog roast is a go! If you don't bring your race car, you go hungry.

Just got a email from Doug (Plasticfantastic) the track will be prepped as well as it can be for this race. We cannot do anything about the heat. Seven day forecast has low 90,s for friday. Bring the cars out Doug helps prep the track at Milan, MI. They have a big HEADS-UP EVENT up there every month so he knows how to prep a track for the small tire stuff

sounds great....i take it we are running during the day / afternoon. Probably the hottest part of the day. Whats funny about KY, the track was smooth as a sheet of glass. BUT in my opinion they had minimal prep. Well they prepped , but not what ive seen...LOL THey had a lot of bracket cars, but i thin that this race coming up, we will have a LOT of slick tire cars hopefully that helps us a little....

We cannot run the whole show under the lights is the problem. Jeff and Doug will let us run when when we need to but the fans will be there to see the 10.5 cars and the NOSTALGIA PRO STOCKERS. So if we wait too long and ask people to stay till 10 pm than they may leave without seeing what they came to watch. We will see how it works out but we will be running in the heat of the day.

R/T Brad, will we be parked in one area?

the reason i ask is i need electric for battery charger and fan to cool the car between hot lap rounds. Is there elctric at this track? I know, im low budget/open trailer. I went looking for a generator at my local Home Depot last night but they had no small generators. SO i need to steal some electric from you..LOL
Let me know if we are parked together, thanks

Re: Mopar Heads-Up Small Tire Race #2 in Ohio - 07/19/11 11:23 PM

Mr P ......Mopars have been falling off in the heads up dept...
People have said a heads up series for mopars will never work, people wont show up...There are guys that are hard at work, and its so nice to see it starting to spark .... hopefully we get some type of series and a little action going here. To me Mopar events now are boring, sorry to say. But heads up...that gets me excited !!!!

Re: Mopar Heads-Up Small Tire Race #2 in Ohio - 07/23/11 11:18 PM

Had a great time. The hog roast on friday and the cookout today went great. Would like to thank everyone that came out and the support from the fans and sponsors. The track temp. was 138 friday and 129 today so it was slick. Not sure anyone had anything for Ed Mathers aka OLD YELLER. He was quicker than anyone in KY by far. Scott Chopin aka FASTBIRD won the race but only because OLD YELLER had a emergency that he had at home and had to load the car up before the final and head home to attend. Had fun hanging out with Bondo Bob, OLD YELLER, JKWEDGE, and all the others. OLD YELLER is a great guy and till you know him you really cannot judge him. Jim and his crew are top notch also they came from PA without the Charger to hang out and added $50.00 to the purse when he came. Bondo Bob is also great him and rick are cool dudes and paid out $300.00 and gave away some high dollar shocks in NSS. I also give props to Jeff Johnson and Doug the race director for letting use run the 10.5 stuff so freely. Without these two guys there was no playground. Jeff and Doug still are going to run four races next year and the 10.5 guys are welcomed back. They got together with the track owner Mark and made the track as good as they could considering the heat. So congrats to my brother Scott Chopin and my uncle Jeff Chopin in NSS on there wins. Ed Mathers for Low ET which was quicker than I thought was possible in these conditions

. Hope to see some more of you guys come out next year for the Chrysler Challenge stuff.

Re: Mopar Heads-Up Small Tire Race #2 in Ohio - 07/24/11 02:42 PM

I'm standing outside the fence here just looking in.

Here is the way I hear it.

Ed had what appeared to be the car to beat. He had to leave for outside reasons. Ed was given credit for his efforts while he was there. No-one said he didn't have something left in the car or that it was simply a lucky pass.

Someone dissagrees and brings up Bill May's performance and what they figure they themselves would have had if it hadn't been for tranny issues.

Can a guy get a thumbs up without someone trying to tear them down? There are plenty more races to settle this out. It is not always about who could have done what. It is about who did it. It sucks when you have a car and you know your performance and something happens where it just doesn't work out at a particular race. This is racing. Don't know that anyone is smarter here. How much could or would we have if we didn't spend our money racing.LOL Anybody can hire a guy to help them figure there car out. If it works out money may have proved well spent. Not everyone does this as many have been burned and didn't get good results. Funny how the people who help these guys out only get credit for a few days then get robbed of it. I don't know of anyone who figured everything out for themself. It's a bold statement to basically call someone else slow in brains based on the ET performance of their car.

All I can say is he got the bird there and ran in the heat of the day when the track was at least 140 and temp was around 104 and 1'st run off the trailer and laid down a great number!!!! My car and a bunch others were way off the number mostly due to the heat on the track and the effect on the cars so he sure impressed the hell out of me

I never met him so I went looking for him later in the day but heard he had to leave.

Re: Mopar Heads-Up Small Tire Race #2 in Ohio - 07/24/11 04:49 PM

Impressed me too. He spent probably 10 minutes right before that run fussing with something in the area of the electronics panel. I wouldn't be surprised if he changed something to compensate for a slippery track. Car looked and sounded soft during the run. I was not expecting the 5.33 to come up. I think there probably was more in it but with marginal track conditions and no real competition it looked like he went for get it down the track and don't hurt anything. I talked to him for a couple of minutes between rounds. Seemed like a nice enough guy to me. He was definately getting it ready for the next round and all of a sudden loaded it up and left so apparently something more important came up. Hope everything is all right.

Re: Mopar Heads-Up Small Tire Race #2 in Ohio - 07/24/11 09:52 PM

Ed "OLE YELLOW" is a good guy. A little quick on the keyboard sometimes. You throw a rock at him on here and he is coming back guns a blazing so be forewarned.

I wasn't there but, I would say there is a lot left in that combination. But, that is just small tire racing.
