New Mopar Show - Indy - *EDIT* MONSTER MOPAR!

[hotrod98]

That extra drive is just enough to knock me out. It's about a 12 hour drive and that makes for a very long day. Since Sandra's no longer able to travel, I've been concentrating strictly on drag racing this year.  No plans to show the bird this year at all.

The last time we attended the Mopar Nationals in Indy in '97, the cops gave us total hell. They even cruised the hotel parking lots trying to bust people. Didn't enjoy that show at all.

Sorry to here that Larry,  I was looking foreward to parking the Daytona next to black Ice again.   With it being about 4 hours for me with no AC I need to figure out if I am going to drive or trailor the Daytona.  I may take the Challenger instead.

4 hours without the AC isn't so bad in these older cars. Just crank the windows down a few inches and enjoy the cruise. Every time I went to St. Louis I drove my 500 and it was always a blast. 4 hours each way. Heck thats shorter than the drive over to Carlisle was.

Yeah, no kidding. Some of us have been driving 4-5 hours in an old car with no A/C for years to get to Monster Mopar - and sometimes over 9 hours to get to Carlisle. It's a car - drive it!

I try to find just about every excuse I can think of to drive the Car during the summer. And going to shows is the easiest way to justify putting $100 of fuel in the car.

I have no problem driving that far w/o AC.  My wife on the other hand who has gone to every overnight car show I have ever been to, would bitch the entire four hour there, two days at the event, four hours home and about the next 6 months following.

[Mopurr]

It will be late Sept, you never know that time of yr......could need heaters instead of AC or just lovely fresh air from the windows and vents.

Sounds good I will keep my options open.  Doubt I will take the hauler unless the price of gas goes down.

looked it up on the cudachallenger site. It was the 16th annual Mopar reunion in Clinton IL.  Nice little show, I will go again

The show is actually in Birkbeck which is about 3 houses and a grain elevator 3 miles outside of Clinton. It is always a fun 1-day show at Jim Falbe's house. Jim has help me build my last two racecars, and with a little luck\persuasion, will be helping on my bird project as well.

Few pics of the Birkbeck reunion!

do we have a date for this show this year? i think i will try to make this one this year.

My first few cars never had air at all.I was in the habbit as most are of thinking I couldnt travel with out it either.I started remembering cars NOT having it back in the 60's.So I started driving even my new cars with the window down instead just reliving the past.Now my wife and I both only use it on the most hot and humid days.It is all what you get used to.If I were closer I would sure like to come.I missed the wing event in Branson due to health reasons.Now I am watching for one to be closer again.
Larry: sure sorry to hear she cant travel now.Hope you have a good drag season!My prayers are with her.I have a sister with MS and I worry full time.
