MOPAR ENGLISHTOWN MAY 15 & 16

[moparsal]

You guys on the east coast  MAY 15 & 16   raceway park, Englishtown  N.J.
I do this show once a year { 10th},   we get a good turnout for mopar  racing,
Vending turnout is dwindling  due to non advertising [this is what i think] 
Hope to see some of you guys , waiting on my spot #, will update when i get it.
MOPARSAL.

[autodynamics]

[BlueSS454]

I just found out that there will also be a Supercar Shootout race there featuring the Factory Appearing Stock Tire (FAST) cars.

[resq302]

I will be there hopefully both days with the Charger and hopefully my parents with the chally vert!  Looking forward to firing up the snow cone maker!

[moparmoynihan]

I can't wait!! See you all there  Johnny

[BlueSS454]

I'm thinking about bringing the Cuda and leave the Charger at home this time.

[resq302]

Bring the cuda one day and the general the next!

[BlueSS454]

Unless I bring both 

[resq302]

Damn, I'm hoping for a green one this year. 

[resq302]

No worries Bill.  I have lemon lime flavor now!  You just need to get your car finished and there!

[moparsal]

Sal.

[resq302]

Granted, its early, but looks like typical E-town weather.... 30% chances of showers both days the last I checked.

[bordin34]

I hope to be there on Saturday without the Charger.

[Chris G.]

I hope to be there on Saturday without the Charger.

Why no Charger?

[bordin34]

I'm not sure I trust it yet to take is 1.5hrs down there and back, even though I've basically been daily driving it the past couple weeks.

[Chris G.]

I'm not sure I trust it yet to take is 1.5hrs down there and back, even though I've basically been daily driving it the past couple weeks.

Dude, I am driving 90 minutes round trip two days in a row with a car that has...wait for it...wait for it...original spark plugs, belts, hoses, wires and everything else you can think of.

Don't take this personally, but so many Jersey (and NY) people whine and cry about every excuse they can not to attend this show with a car. Once it's gone, it's gone. Flatbeds exists...car don't melt when it rains (trust me I know). Man up and bring a car is what I say. This was never a problem a few years back. When did drama and crying become the biggest factor for this show? Again...nothing directed to you personally, just a general thought about how bitchy this show has gotten.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

I concur!   I just got finished swapping a used rear in my car to make this show.....heck I even "planned" my Federal court jury duty this week so I could have the weekend off!

JK on the last part

[bordin34]

I would like to bring my car, but I am going down there with my dad and he won't want to. Also I am hoping to buy some 440 parts and might need an SUV if I buy something big.

[resq302]

Well, due to a family crisis, I will not be attending on Sat.  Sun with any luck I should be there hopefully in good spirits.  At least it would be something to distract me from what has been going on.

[HITMAN 149]

brian i hope alll is well... or at least works out ok!!! 
im gonna try to get there this weekend also.. (charger less  ) prob sun?!?!?

[resq302]

Hitman, things are looking up.  Thank god for miracles or so it seems.  Also, I have to give some shout outs to FLG, JohnTPR, and MoparJohn for their calls and concerns.  Ive always said that this place is like a second family to me.  Thanks for the support guys.

[FLG]

Anytime brian!

I'm going to try my best to make it for Sunday. Busy weekend for me.

[6d9 charger]

I will be there sunday , what time does it really get going ?

[bill440rt]

I concur!   I just got finished swapping a used rear in my car to make this show.....heck I even "planned" my Federal court jury duty this week so I could have the weekend off!

JK on the last part

I third that!! 

Yeah, E-town doesn't advertise it at all, the entry fees are ridiculous, your "goodie bag" consists of (if you're lucky) a cheezy newspaper & a dash plaque, you can take your family to a nice dinner for the prices they charge for their sub-par food, and the only attractions (other than the car show) are the survivors tent and drag racing.
HOWEVER, having said that, and being a Jersey boy also, how can you NOT miss it??? I've been going every year for the past 24 years. I just enjoy spending time with friends. Great seeing Just6T9, ChrisG, Daytona John, Doug, and many others that are non-members here.
And, see ya's TOMORROW!!! Same bat time, same bat place. 

[bordin34]

I went there today, the swap meet was really small and so was the show. The racing was great though.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

JohnTPR drives his POS down 80 miles from upstate NY.......


ON BIAS PLY REDLINES!!!


JohnTPR I commend you for having very large brass ones!!

PS----heres the POS he drove in case you were wondering....

[moparmoynihan]

I went on Saturday, It was a great time. Thank you Just 6t9 CHGR for your help with the dash pad concerns. Johnny 

[HITMAN 149]

uggggg my pooooor dog is sick AGAIN!!! =/ sooo we are staying home with him to "doggggie sit" aghhhhhhh 
ohhhhh wellll and it's a beautifulllll weekend out too!! hope everyone is safe & has a great time!!!!
maybe next year i'll actually be able to DRIVE the charger there!!!! 

[aone415]

HITMAN sorry about the sick doggie... I've been there recently hopefully the pup feels better soon!  As for the show it was good to see Bill, Chris and Doug as well as a few new friends... good times!

[resq302]

I agree.  It was really good to see the two Chris', Bill, Doug, MoparJohn, JohnTpr, and others who escape my mind right now.  Special thanks to everyone who tried to help me with my engine issue that I noticed at the show.  For some strange reason, my alternator pivot bolt decided to snap off just inside the cyl. head.  I was able to get a new bolt package at the show through Herbs Parts but I still could not get the broken part of the stud out.  Big thanks to Moparsal who let me borrow his electric drill to try and get the broken bolt out but I did not have enough clearance for the drill to fit in there.  Luckily, the bracket was strong enough to make the 1 1/2 hr journey back home without throwing the belt.

[66FBCharger]

How was the swap? Were there a lot of vendors? Were there a lot of show cars?
I couldn't make it. I am busy trying to get the 'Cuda back together for the Mopars in Motion show the 23rd at Papa's Dodge.

[resq302]

Swap meet was poor at best.

[moparjohn]

Yeah, this poor little show, needs some TLC to get back to what it was, Gosh, remember what it wa like in the late 80's and early 90's (yeah, old now!) I was gald to see the gang, and the cars that showd were great, parts was small, but scored a set of shoes for my wagon- NOS Chrysler ones-$25/'set-Happy!!

[moparsal]

Show is getting smaller & smaller, been vending for 10 years & it's the worst turnout for vender's & buyers.
The show & race cars still show up,
Etown needs to advertise & bring in a few big named racers like the old days,
But it's a weekend away to get some sun & fresh air, meet people & have a beer with a good cigar.
Glad you made it home resq302,
Sal.
