Mega Mopar Action Car Show, Swap & Drags Oct 5-6 at Famoso Raceway, Bakersfield

There are a couple of established all Mopar CAR SHOWS in California in October but no drag racing.

Oct 12 San Joaquin Mopars holds their Fall Finale show at Lions Park in Madera. Participant judged show, 150+ vehicles, shaded parking on grass, small swap but size fluctuates.

Oct 26 Chrysler Performance West (CPW) holds their Fall Fling at Woodley Park in Van Nuys. Show & shine format, mainly swap, parking on grass with some shade.

Both of these one day shows have been going on for years.

I don't know if any of you remember about 6-7 years ago a multi-day all Mopar car show & drags was held at California Speedway on Memorial Day weekend. Drag racing did great but the car show & swappers were off doing something else. They lost their shirts for the two years they held this event. The issue was the speedway said it was this weekend & not much else. Nothing else at the speedway to drawing spectators, car show people or swappers.

Hopefully the Bakersfield event can get established using the NHRA event to help cover the costs of the track and everything that goes with it. I think if it was a stand-alone event at this time it might be one & done.
