Monster Mopar Weekend... who's goin'?

[471_Magnum]

Who's goin', where you stayin' and when you gettin' there?

I haven't firmed up my itinerary yet.

I missed it last year due to work. Previous year I just did a Saturday day trip.

This year I'm thinking about going in Friday with some buddies that will be racing and staying until Sunday. I'll be entering as a non-judged show car.

Should we arrange a DodgeCharger.com get-together?

How 'bout a sticky Troy, so we don't end up with ten threads.

[Troy]

Sure. I may just be there but someone else can arrange the meetings. No one showed up at the Nats except Telvis so the group pic is really small...

Troy

I plan to get there Friday afternoon. I'm towing the 73 cuda so that I can get into the infield without the two mile walk. I'll leave the car there overnight and drive the truck to the Motel. I hate to leave a car in a Motel parking lot overnight. The plan at this point is to stay until Sunday. I haven't gotten a Motel room yet, but it's usually not that hard to get one this late.
Just let me know a time and place to meet.

Just too much ground to cover at Nationals, and too little time to get it done. Didn't get to socialize much.

MMW tends to be a little less hectic... for me at least.

I know me and Allen (41Husk) are going, He will be sellling in the swap meet area, I''ll be there Sat.

[41husk]

yep I will be in the swap area Fri, Sat and Sun.  If anyone wants to get together my cell phone is 618 558-7278.  I will have it on all weekend.

[mopar_madman]

I'll be there, arriving late fri at show sat and leaving sun. Staying at the holiday inn in collinsville.

I'll be there on Thursday (to set up the Winged Warriors/NBOA spaces), and both Saturday and Sunday.  My friend that usually takes care of the Wing Cars at MMW just had surgery last week, so I'll be pinch-hitting for him that entire weekend.

Tough duty, y'know... oogling Daytonas and Superbirds all weekend long   

[694spdRT]

I'll be there on Saturday and Sunday with the '69....just finished it up Friday night. (ok, a few little things left to do)

Hey, WHere is this Monster Mopar weekend that you speak of      

[Recharger]

Just over the border from St. Louis in Illinois, at Gateway International Raceway.  Here's a link:

http://www.monstermopar.com/

I'll be there this year, probably late Friday through Saturday.  Charger's not done, though, so I'll just be wandering around the whole time.  Are you guys with vendor booths going to have any identification so we know who we're haggling with?   

[purple70rt]

I'll be there again in the swap meet area.  Lots of 71 - 74 Charger Parts and 68 - 70 Charger Parts.

[41husk]

look us up in the swap area.

[cudaken]

 I might be there, just depend's on luck and money. If anyone would like to drop by the houes I am only 14 miles from the track.

Need to get my dead a-s up and work on the Charger.

Allen, have you happen to think to see if you have a choke well?

where do you park for the car show,and where is parking for truck and trailer. just trying to figure out how far i will have to walk.also what day is the judging and awards? is it more of a sat and sunday show?reason i ask is never been there and how many nights for motel. is this a pretty good show? thanks

[41husk]

parking is a little different each year,but if you are in the show drags or swap you will have a designated parking area that is closer than general admission parking.  There is also a shuttle tram that takes you near the different venues.  Many people brieng mopeds, scooters or golf carts.  It is a real good show.  I was a little disapointed in the swap meet last year I think it has been going down hill, it was completly rapped up by 1pm Sunday.  I don't know about the car show or drags.  as far as hotels there are plenty,  You can also look in Granite City they have several hotels along Hwy 111 and chain of rocks road may be a little cheaper than Collinsville and the same distance. (about 5-10 minutes from the track.

[Hooked On Mopars]

I will be there with a bunch of parts.  I have a covered space this year!  I think it is space #10.

[41husk]

I have not recieved my space asignment yet, as soon as I do I will post it so anyone wanting to visit can.

Alot of guys stay at the Holiday Inn in Collinsville ,illinois..There are also a few other hotels around that same area

The hotels are almost the same distance as Collinsville maybe closer.  There is a super 8 Rammada limited,  Comfort inn.  Along chain of rocks road is a coup[le old mom and pop hotels Apple tree and some other real clean but not big chains.  If you would like I will post some of the phone #s.  Let me know.
