31st annual Woodburn dragstrip mopar nationals Sunday July 24th. Car show, swapmeet, and of course drag races!! I just bought my son's plane ticket to fly him in for the weekend from Colorado. He raced pro and stick shift last year. I think the threat of unfavorable weather conditions last year kept attendance down. Hopefully this year will be big again.
 
I know it's still early to get a big buzz going, but I know there are people coming from hundreds of miles away and preparations need to be made. It's great getting a chance to actually shake hands and speak to members in person as so much can be lost here on the internet.
I think it's funny how a seemingly real dipstick here on the Forum can turn out to be someone I'd like to know better, and on the other hand a real nice person on the net can be a real nut job and you can't get away quick enough! LOL
Anyway, this is one of the bigger northwest all mopar events and it would IMHO be a shame not to get to see as many members cars and the people behind them as possible.
 
Well today (the first day of the month) I can say mopar nationals next month !!!!
 
Info about the event ? Is it a Woodburn event or a promoter ? Sounds do-able.

Last time I went it was a Woodburn deal. I didn't know the "family" let anyone else promote there.

Stories I could tell.

Like when the tower almost became....I better let that one go.
 
You wouldn't want to bring your car there in July and drag my slow junk down the track in the for Speed class would you???

Doubt it will be done by then. I ain't a big fan of WB. Still have to get a window in the can, do up another gear box, wire in the new ignition and 2 step and then I'll have to rent the track and test. I just want it running by August 1st.

We'll see how it goes. May do a Dana before I go to the track. It's an ebb and flow thing. And how much someone will pay for an A body 8.75 with an 742 case, 4.56's, Detroit locker and moser axles.

So I gotta feel the flow. That's what happens when you mature.

just look for the electric car named, THE TEACHER.
 
Too bad you weren't ready last Friday at PIR there was about 9 cars that showed up. It was just pass after pass as many as you want to take for three and a half hours. $30 bucks pretty good deal. Pretty soon you're going to run out of (REASONS) LOL
I shouldn't be posting my latest reaction times I might catch an old geezer like you sleeping at the line and you may wake up from your mid-afternoon nap to see me crossing the finish line LOL

Won't be long and they will cancel the late night deal. Too bad it went to hell.

Pete needs to start fighting the city for more events that aren't just guys with street tires eat up the starting line.

Maybe that's why he's been around so long. He won't rock the boat.

The city of Portland has lied so long about the park now that most everyone believes Bill Doner had the right to sell his rights to Jim Rockstadt.

Long story with a sick history.....
 
It ain't what it used to be.
I just was talking to Pete a couple of weeks ago about some new events for the late night drags.
we're getting off subject .....

keep bumping it so I don't forget. I am going unless I forget. I could right it on the calendar but the only time I look at the calendar is to write stuff on it so I don't forget. Vicious cycle.
 
We will be there to run fri night. Diesel trucks have the track Saturday but hoping to get some rounds in as fillers then all mopar Sunday. My new 430 cubed 340 is almost done but a couple weeks from going in. The old stand by magnum motor is going in the dart Tomorrow for next week she won't be as fast but will still be more fun than goin to work LOL.
 
Well I'm going to bump This Thread one more time because it's coming up this weekend and the weather is looking great. I hope to see everyone there.
 
Well my son should be solely or at least mostly driving the car but I should be there close by most the time. I'll repost a picture of my rig so if you see it come by and say hello. I always like to get a chance to talk to for a bodies only members in person and meet them when I can as it seems we talked all year long.

Thank you the car does put on quite a show. There was so many beautiful cars there yesterday. We got passed on the freeway on our way there by about 14 or 15 Challengers parading. It was a great turnout lots of great cars to race and lots of beautiful cars in the car show. The attendance seem to be way up especially from last year.
Fun watching your car jpar. Your son really can shift that duster. Dustin
 
I have a video of your car racing once but can't get it to download from my phone. It did seem like a lot of new cars were there at the race and the show. Dustin
 
The only way I can get videos to download on here is to download them onto YouTube then post the link.
