This is too funny, how many go to car shows/events only to be outnumbered by chevys and ford?? well apparently Great Lakes Dragway, (oldest running dragstrip in the country) is having problems getting chevy and fords clubs to show up for there prospective weekends so they are only going to run a MOPAR weekend checkout this email I got:
Car clubs: we need your help!
"What happened to Ford, BOP & Chevy Days?"
A question I have been asked many times since the 2011 schedule was recently released is: Why is there no BOP, Ford or Chevy day this year? And how come Mopar Day is now Mopar Weekend?
I will just cut straight to the chase... Great Lakes Dragaway was founded by car clubs for car clubs. Mopar day has been hugely successful for years, because we always have at least one large car club to help us put on the event.
Ford, BOP & Chevy Days have not had such support in the last few years. No car clubs will step up and back the event. This is YOUR chance to change this!
Got a Mustang or Thunderbird club? What about a Cadilac club? I'll say it up front: we simply cannot assign entire days exclusively for under 200 cars... but, I can promise your car club will be given their own area in the pits on another day that is already shared with a smaller event or other car club!
Cmon folks... ANY day on the schedule except Nitrous Street Car Brawl, Real Street Drags or Larry's Funfest has room for car clubs of any size! Even weeknights! Many of our events already cater to specific car clubs such as Imports or Street Driven Cars.
Can you bring us 100+ cars to have a whole Saturday morning for your club? What about 200+ cars on an entire Sunday? Do you have your own car club and network with other similar car clubs? All of your network of clubs can band together to have an entire Ford, Chevy, or an Anything That Drives Day!
Motorcycles... Model T's?
We want em all!
Email me, Mike Angeli at [email protected], or Randy Henning at [email protected] and let's do this. Your club doesn't have to race either - we have heavily discounted rates available for car clubs who just want to have a car show and hang out.
PS: Grudge Racers: we have room on nearly all Friday afternoons to open the track a few hours early if you would like to do your own race. You provide the cars and event rules, we will provide the track. Email me directly at [email protected]
