First year I have missed it. Wedding tomorrow I couldn’t get out of.
Weather looked iffy, maybe a good thing I couldn’t attend, but looks like better conditions now than originally thought.

I've been to ChallengerFest there years ago and really liked the place, but I didn't have to tow 13 hours to get there. I'd love to go to some Mopar only races but they are too far away. My tow limit is about 3 hours. For the right event I might be talked into 4 hours, which would get me to Thunder Valley just south of Oklahoma City. Dallas Mopar club used to sponsor Mopars at the Motorplex but stopped doing that race a few years ago. I wish they would bring it back.
It’s hard to believe you guys Dont have Mopar shows in that area.
I really want to attend this event and/or the other mopar event at London at some point. It would be a long haul down from Maine though.

Weather is awesome, why people listen to the weatherman is beyond me. Sure it sprinkled a bit this morning but party clowdy now, and it might rain later, but half the people apparently did listen to him because it is definitely down in all categories...

It’s expensive to attend an out of state event like that for me. About 1,000 bucks with motel, gas, food, entry fee, etc.
So, I don’t blame people at all not shelling out the money if the weather looks iffy. I have been there every year, wedding this weekend so I couldn’t come this weekend.
I doubt I would have with the weather though had I been able, especially as I am only racing, and have an open trailer.
I know it rained a good bit yesterday evening and overnight, later this afternoon is supposed to be a real soaker.
Tomorrow and Sunday are looking better though, but didn’t on Wednesday when most out of staters have to make the decision.
Hope to be there next year

We have shows just no racing.
That stinks
It was a little tricky walking around under the pravilion with all the leg casts, crutches, canes, walkers, and wheelchairs. Lol
We were there, my brother had the fastest Challenger 1320 in the class. He went a couple of rounds. He's still learning how to drive the finish line. We got there Thursday morning and left Monday morning. We had a blast!!!

Texas has a real limited number of drag strips, especially when you get South of Dallas. My closest "local" track is 175 miles away. It's like a racing dead zone down here.
We're very fortunate. We have 8 Dragstrips still in operation within 120 miles of Tuscaloosa, Al. 14 less than 200 miles from us. Back in the 90's their were more dragstrips in Alabama than any state in America except Texas
Most of mine aren’t crazy close but worth the drive
40 miles keystone
85 miles Quaker City
160 miles Dragway 42
200 miles Norwalk
Tracks I no longer go to
200 miles Columbus
290 miles Maple Grove
The top 4 give me more than enough races to choose from.
