Just got back from the 38th annual Mopar Nationals in Woodburn, Oregon. It was a long 3 days of racing but well worth it. None of my A-Bodies were ready so I took my Super Stock and entered in 2 classes…. Modern Mopar and Pro.

This track runs a very efficient program which had me hot-lapping to not miss a round. Long story short, I was able to go rounds in both classes talking 4th in MM (broke out in the semis) and 2nd in pro after cutting my worst light (I had been averaging .020's-.040's) all weekend.

Also got the Top Dog award for quickest in the LX event on Saturday, brought home some hardware and some pocket change. lol

I believe his name was Ron Parks. I heard he wins a lot of races at this track although in this case, I really beat myself more than getting beat by him. I cut the absolute worst light for me (.254 to his .075) in a very long time and I'm not even sure how it happened and I had been averaging .050 or better all weekend long.
 
Oh man that’s too bad.

I went to the first mopar day they had in 1985. I
Always liked going to their mopar drags and just racing there anytime. Now I have moved 7 hours away so I don’t get there with fuel so high.

I have more of their shirts l packed away. I destroyed the shirt from 1985, it has a 1968 roadrunner bird on it.

I'm in Arlington, WA so roughly 7 hr drive each way pulling a trailer and stopping at every rest stop to pee.... lol

Well worth it though, they run a great program there and I will definitely be back to race Woodburn again soon.

That's awesome. The event t-shirts are the biggest thing I am bummed about since apparently the winning cars from the previous year end up on the shirts.... lol

Can you share...how "stock" is your Super Stock?? LOVE the green, too!

It is extremely stock. Full weight, stock boost, stock engine, stock trans and no nitrous.

Only mods are to the rear suspension to zero out camber and toe, upgraded intercooler coolant chiller and a tune to run more timing. The car weighs 4515 lbs with me in it and a half a tank of fuel.
 
Great job bill ! Sorry I couldn't make it down there but I had **** to do so I can make it down next year and didn't need another sunburn lol

WOW that thing is a tank! Sure is pretty though in that green. And it runs like scalded dog.

I intentionally left it full weight as I had a goal to get it in the 9’s. Now it’s time to put it on a diet for the NHRA Northwest Nationals.
 
What class are you running at the northwest nationals?
 
Nice job! I didn't have anything race-worthy this year, but I will for sure next year. It was a decent day there, not blistering hot and lots of FABO folks to meet up with.
