You can pretty much bet that it gets "stuck" on Mother Day weekend again MoparChas.

My family really frowns upon going racing on Mothers Day and other holidays so my Dad and I will probably run the Saturday only program with his street 72 Duster.

My car is about to be getting a makeover (new paint, quarters and fenders) to be ready for Monster Mopar Weekend in St, Louis in September. So I will be "Spectating" at The Mopar Shootout....

I was told last week that it might be moved to August because of Conflicting dates. I am still waiting for final dates for Points racing. I will let you all know as soon as I know.

Hmmm......August? My car might be painted by then....

But I absolutely HATE racing in the heat!! My car runs a little hot anyway and one time I got heat stroke at my local track. I suppose my heat stroke was even worse since my car REEKED of moth balls at the time and I had been up for like 48 hours straight. At the time I was working third shift and I worked on the car all day Friday, worked third shift, came home and worked on my car all morning and then went racing till midnight. Kind of hard to catch a cat nap at the track with open headered cars going by! I had a terrible headache for three days straight!!

MOPARCHAS: Of course I'll stop by and check out that bad boy Challenger!! You sent me pictures before so I know what it looks like!
