Anybody that hangs out here planning on attending? My favorite racing event/ show of any kind every year.
Almost 500 race cars last year made the call for first round in the various classes.
This will mark the second year the wife and i will sponsor an 11.50 index race thats contested on Saturday at the event. 20 buck entry, 750 to win, 350 runner up, 150 semi’s and 75 quarters. We enjoy it, The guy who puts on this event does a great job and we are tickled to give back a tiny bit.
Hope to meet some guys from here this year. Might see you in line eating a pound of ice cream they sell for a buck. Still cant believe they do that lol.... Norwalk is a special venue.
 
Best strip for spectating I've ever been to, and I've seen a few. Will be there with a buddy and a couple teenagers in tow, but no cars (sadly).
 
Will keep an eye out for you. I think last year there were more A- bodies than you could count ! I bet if you have a teenage girl in your pits, we will find you.....

I will be there with a green 73 Duster and will enter the 11.50 index race as well as the sportsman class. Thank you for sponsoring the index race.

Any one know how the show field is? Would like to enter my Dart in 70-76 A Body class as there is no modified class.

Probably see you in both classes in the lanes. If yours is the car i think it is, think you took me out couple of years ago when i was racing my 71 White Duster. We had a time trial together, and raced in second or third round.
Is it light green?

It looks like this.

What kills me is seeing these adds and not seeing a map or address :wtf: seems they would fix that by now, and this is not the only one I have seen, ok, let me ask then, does anyone have an address ??
 
Summit Motorsports Park 1300 Ohio-18
Norwalk, Ohio
44857

Frankly a person has to be a super casual drag racing fan to not have heard of Norwalk. Easily one of top 2 or 3 venues in the country
This event is the largest Mopar only drag race in the country

It's more race oriented than show. The show field parking is on grass but there are 4-5 1/4 mile long asphalt paved lanes with grass between them for parking. The race pits on the other side of the track are 100% paved. The swap meet is decent. I'll be camping with my 64 Valiant and hoping to make some fun runs to get ready for the Clay City /6 race in September. My nephew brings lots of his home brew and they set up a mini tent city. His buddy runs an Indy small block black Cherokee that does the 4 foot wheelies.
I've been to a lot of tracks and the Baders run a first class facility. Don't forget to get your pound of ice cream for a buck!
 
Still only gonna charge 20 bucks entry for 11.50 this year
It was a fun class, I just couldn't quite run the number. Had to make some changes to the car that may have slowed it a bit, we'll have see how it runs. I did go three rounds last year!
 
I plan on being there for the weekend. In sportsman and possibly the 11.50 class. also looking for parts for my '64 project
Ddart stop by!

Gary -- what will you have there? We'll be in the spectator parking lot. Plan on going both Friday and Saturday. Gonna order some clutch stuff from Brewer for properly putting the 360 in the D/Dart. Not many Mopar shows down here in Florida. We usually go to the Nats but decided to change it up this year. Almost went to Carlisle but our plans changed. I'll probably have a Garlits shirt on. Alan and Nancy

We went last year, First time in July for me. The last few times I went was when they had it in Sep.It was a Great time !
 
Weather looks good for Norwalk.
Cant wait. My favorite week of the year. Leaving real early Thursday morning from Michigan.
Should be three great days of racing
 
We'll be there for sportsman and 11.50 index. Don't know how far we'll get cuz we haven't made a clean pass all year. The car is jinxed
 
Wish I could go, work is killing me. I haven't been and wonder what swap meet action is going on. I want to find some 69 barracuda headlight surrounds, if someone spots some and picks them up I will pay a nice finders fee!!!
