Unfortunately a good number of Mopar enthusiast bring their bullshit drama along with their car to events. Can’t understand why can’t those people bring a car, pull up a chair and enjoy the show. Guess it’s the times, people are angry.
People getting defensive at car shows!

very good observation, and I agree. I think people dont know how to quell the outside stressors( the news) that are designed to make us uptight and angry. I was just on the phone last night with my best friend that I knew since elementary school, we talked about the old days, I said" we grew up in the best times, kids today will never have the fun we had as teenagers..." Its as if today we are being made to be miserable at a young age...I'm glad I escaped it sort of...the only time I'm real miserable is when I'm at work or on my way to work ,and, guess whos there? yup, young people who have their head way up their but...
Pan head machine screws, nylock nuts, bend the machine screw tail over when tight. Did that on my roadrunner, caught the guy trying to take the tag, bad day for him.
Exactly. I pull up, pop open the trunk and share my homebrew with the Mopar folks. I'll post a pic as soon as I find it. LOL

Yes thats how to treat the guys at the shows!!!!
We have a good time! I think we all have a bottle or glass of something to drink in our hands.
My buddy has a real clean repainted new interior 1977 Camaro. He wanted to show it. I told him that I dislike it when people show their cars with the hood up. If I want to see the engine I'll ask to see it. Maybe its because I'm a bodyman. Anyway first time out, he got a trophy in his class and think having the hood closed helped him with that.
Plus you go to a NHRA Divisional or National Race = The cars all run like y to build!!
It is not easy to build a competitive Stocker/Super Stocker or even maintain and tune one
if you can afford to buy one!

Always seems to be hit or miss with the weather there, this year was beautiful. Was there a lot there on Sunday? It seems a lot of people were packing up Saturday. Now that I finally have a project car again, I had reason to go through the swap meet. We took my buddies Road Runner down, parked in the show, and combed the meet. Hit more of the show in the afternoon, and talked with some cool people, and the guy I mentioned.

That was/ is a great day. We had a blast. So the roll bars in my cars aren’t original? Dang it.
yes it would, but I didn't say run up and be a dick about it. big difference between checking out fender tags and prying up the trunk gasket to get at body stampings.
Well said.
I dont really care about those kind of dorks, not worth the time and really are just embarrassing themselves.
or even to drive it to its potential, not an easy thing to get a 9 second car into the 9's and then consistently. then to be competitive and thats a whole different ball game.
is that legal?

We are all here because we are not all there.
I also have a NAPA battery in my Barracuda. LOLNapa Battery. FAIL.
(that's ok. I have a Wal Mart battery in mine. I dressed it up with a cap and sticker kit though)
I peeled all the stickers off and then painted it black with Kylon.
I'm still looking for original Mopar air to put in my tires.
Yeah, it is hard to find good condition, date-coded air these days!

I never did much with the shows, to many experts know more about your car then you do then drive off in Mom's mini van.
