Deyeme Racing's Mopars in the Park 2007 (annual event in mid-Missouri)

[DMRacing]

When: Saturday, June 23rd, 2007.

Where: Lake of the Ozarks State Park, Missouri

Man, I can't believe this is the 8th annual! Wow.

from our webpage...

Food and fun with our beloved MoPars and Diamond-Stars, in scenic mid-Missouri, with a relaxed summer-fun atmosphere.
As we crank up the tunes at 10am, people begin arriving in their freshly washed and waxed rides, with the event "officially" kicking off at 11 o'clock. We'll start the day with lunch, courtesy of Deyeme Racing- subs and pizzas, chips, dips, and soft drinks. As always, feel free to cook up, thaw out, or otherwise bring along something to share. Activities include music, frisbee, horse shoes and other yard games, parts installations, and a show 'n' shine, complete with participant judging and prize giveaways!!

Next, show off your driving skills or test out your new mods, with a cruise on some country two-lane blacktop, from the event site to the edge of town and back, with pitstops for food, fuel and parts in town if needed. After the dust has settled, we'll be doing more mods installs, bench racing, swimming, and a bonfire or pit fire. The event ends at 8pm, however everyone is welcome to camp out in the park (reserve your spot early!) to keep the fun going until Sunday, weather permitting. If you're driving some distance, there's also lodging in town for the night before or after, just a few miles away from the event site.


In order to get an idea of the number of people attending, we'd like everyone to register on our website (http://www.deyemeracing.com/mopark.html). Sure, you can show up if you don't register, but you won't be eligible for the car show, or the prizes we'll be giving away(!) including Deyeme Racing products, factory branded items, and other useful things. You'll receive a printable "ticket" that will be your registration number when you show up. You must be PRESENT to win the prizes, and we allow only one entry per vehicle. Only those 16 and older can register (if there are going to be minors with you, please include them in the "number in your party"). If you have any questions, feel free to email Travis.
Getting to Lake of the Ozarks State Park us is very easy. From I-70, Take MO-54 south past Jefferson City to MO-42, shortly before the Grand Glaize Bridge. Turn left (east) onto MO-42. Take MO-42 to MO-134. Turn right (south) onto MO-134. Once on Hwy. 134 inside the park, head to Public Day Use Area 1, near Public Beach 1.

So, who all's gonna be there? Being where it is, you can make a whole weekend event of it. Stay in a hotel or camp out (you can reserve camping spots at that park online). There's Jetski rentals, t-shirt shops, go-karts, LOTS of other stuff, plus we're close to a beach for swimming - it's gonna be a BLAST!

Sweet, I live in Osage Beach, June 23 is my birthday, and PB1 is a minute from my house. This rocks. I'll make sure to bring my GLHS and my 'Cuda.

If any other TDers are going to attend, make sure to find me and you can all come check out my stuff.

Well, then, happy birthday to both of us. Mine is the 26th, and that's part of the reason for scheduling it when I did. We'll have our turbo Dodge there, too (a modded '90 Spirit ethanol-powered 2.5L intercooled turbo), as well as our '85 360 Ram Van, and possibly our '96 Neon ACR.

Sounds good. Do you know of any other TDers that are going to come? I'm sure one of my friends will bring his CSX (he lives in Osage Beach too), and another will bring either his turbo Baron or his Shelby Charger. Where are you coming from?

Not yet, but we've only recently posted this here and to a few other forums. I need to get the event posted on some of the other forums, too. For most people, it's still too early to determine if they can make it or not. We usually start getting registrations on our MoPark page around March. Which reminds me: if you're pretty sure you're going to be able to be there, please register on the page ( www.deyemeracing.com/mopark.html ), 'cause we need a headcount so we know how much subs and pizzas to get.

Now that I have an older turbo Dodge myself, it would be nice to see some more examples of them. In '05. we had some 300s and Magnums show for the first time, which was nice. In '04, it was FJ-body year, as a number of ASOG member showed (Avenger/Sebring Owners Group). Seems like every year we add some from a different group, so maybe this will be Turbo Dodge year?

Don't forget to spread the word to the locals in your area, too.

We got some reports from some neons.org guys that were saying our registration page was down. We had a hard drive go bad on the server that might have been the problem (permissions didn't copy correctly to the backup). Anyway, the registration page SHOULD be back up and running. Please let me know if it's not!
