2007 SRT/Modern Mopar Nationals

[CSX321]

The new year has begun, and so has planning for the 2007 SRT/Modern Mopar Nationals!

2006 was a great event, but 2007 is shaping up to be even better. The core team has increased in number to 6 people, all dedicated to making the event one of the best in the nation for 2007.

Please visit us at www.srtnationals.org or www.modernmoparnationals.org and take a look around.

We're working on an improved schedule that moves the drag racing to the evenings and the parties into the night. The stages will still have a band (Silver Judas Rocks!), but in the heat of the day, we'll make things hotter with a Bikini Contest. (I'm pretty sure that is for females only.)

The Car Show is expanded to not only make it easier to use, will also feature a "Pro" section for those competitors who want to be judged with the best of the best.

It's not just for Neons anymore! 2006 saw the participation of all sorts of modern Mopars, including the classic muscle, rare trucks, Vipers, Shelby Dodges, and the LX platform. We're continuing that trend by catering to the clubs who want to hold their own events inside this one, or just park together.

Be sure to check out the Message Board link on the event website, a dedicated set of forums has been created for the event. From there, we can quickly distribute information about the event without worrying about missing one of the club websites.

Register for the event, and we'll also be able to stay in contact through e-mail as updates occur.

Pre-registration is not required this year, but it is encouraged. Participants who want to attend the banquet must pre-register because the food order goes in about three weeks before the event. Those who choose to register at the event will pay more money at the gate, and not receive all of the benefits of pre-registering. There are several reasons for this, most involve the pre-ordering of vinyl, awards, and other materials.

Want to be more than a Volunteer? The event is run by enthusiasts, and there's always room for more enthusiasts. Just let us know you're available and we'll be more than happy to have you join the team.

Never heard of the event? If it's not on the Web site now, they will be soon, the magazine articles from Mopar Magazine, Grassroots Motorsports, and the SRT Edge.

Sign up now, See you in Topeka this July!

The event was great last year, and should be even better this year!
We have been sponsors of this event since the beginning (April 04) when the srt nationals first started, and now with it's new name, Modern Mopar Nationals.
If you like to road race, drag race or autocross, they have it all.

Rob Pachner and Warren Stramer have both confirmed that they will be back, and likely Stefan will make some exhibition passes along with the Darrell Cox team. We will be there to raod race, drag race and autocross, in addition to our sponsorship. The shelby dodge crowd was well accepted by the promoters last year and really opened some eyes of the other modern mopar owners. So much so that they even have some shelby classes in the car show.

If you like to road race, sign up NOW. Those slots fill up fast. Also make sure you make some reservations at the host hotel. Very nice hotel, and reasonable at $75 per night. Very reasonable prices to race, so sign up early. We hope to see you all there!
Please visit us at www.srtnationals.org or www.modernmoparnationals.org and take a look around.
later,
Cindy

If you didn't make it to the last SDAC, then you really missed out. SDAC teaming up with this event was a perfect combination. The track was awesome. The road coarse was in great condition and a lot of fun all over. A long straight lets you really turn it on and the twisties keep your attention. The drag strip had great traction and the guys running the show clearly knew what they were doing. I didn't run in the autocross but from what I hear that was well managed as well. The weather was great and the central location drew a lot of people. Lot's of freebies from the event sponsors was cool also. Now that they've added a Shelby Dodge class or two to the car show, its an all around great time for all turbo Mopars. We hope to see some of you guys back in Topeka this year. I expect its going to be even better this year!

OK, update!! who's all going??? If you want to go, PLEASE sign up NOW!!! I mean NOW!!! the event organizers are trying to get a grasp of attendance and if you plan to go, please sign up now, because driver school/road race slots go quickly as do the banquet seats. Remember you can reserve a room at the host hotel, but no need for hotel money up front, so you have time to pay for that.
I have confirmation that Rob Pachner will be back to defend his quick 16 title, and Warren Stramer and Wallace White will be racing as well. We will be road racing and drag racing with at least one car there ourselves too! I hope the srt boys have something for the old school crowd this year LOL
Also if you are a member here and sign up, send me a PM. I think I FWD-P will be doing a special giveaway for all td.com attendees.
Thanks,
Cindy

OK, there have been some changes made to shorten the nats by a day so more people can attend. Sounds like you better get plenty of rest before you come, becuase you won't have any rest once you get there

From Dale Seeley:
We've revised the event schedule in an effort to make it easier for people to attend. Overwhelmingly, it was made clear that the total number of days away from home is important, so we have condensed the event to two days and evenings.

Thursday Meet-n-Greet hospitality event at the hotel, and pre-event tech inspection.

Friday Morning - HPDE Roadcourse and show event begins. Possible Autox on Friday as well.

Friday evening (5pm) - Bracket Drag Racing begins

Saturday Morning - Show and Autox begins.
Saturday Noon - Open drag passes (test and tune) and Quick-8 Qualifying begins
Saturday evening - Quick-8 Drag Racing

Sunday - Go Home

Hope to see the TD guys out there!!!
