Mopars at Atco Saturday 10/18 ** WITH PIX**
« on: October 06, 2008 - 09:33:27 AM »
This is a pivotal year for Mopars @ Atco - last year was a rain out and the year before had a low turnout.

If no one supports the show this year it will possibly be GONE....

Ken , if I get my scattershield in, I'll be there.
Been pressing my luck with a stock bellhousing, plus I will be using a drag radial next time out....

if anyone else needs a car load coupon like the one posted above I will be leaving a stack at the deli - ( used to be the wawa ) @ the register that is near the deli counter....



We are also having a 50/50 for the Ronnie Sox Foundation.

I'll be there with the Cuda , the bad news is I will not be racing. No tires or scattershield (bummer). I'll stilll bring my helmet just in case..
I'll probably hang out the with Stock/Superstock guys and help some of them out....
Sure wish I still had my Duster stocker...

Here's the pix.  Show turnout was small at about 45 cars.  Racer turnout was decent.  Racing was not Mopar only.  They had other groups there as well, mandra, neto and East coast gassers

Good seeing you Vinni.  Yes it was cold but got better as the day went on.

The guy that owns the trailer that the race car rides in had a domestic problem and couldn't make the Atco race. This is the 2nd time this has happened now in 3 races :pullinghair:

Anyway, I see some familiar cars. The guy with the green '65 Dodge lives right next to the shop and the Red 73 Chally with the Weld wheels
bought my old '70 chally and used many parts from it on his, like the T/A spoiler and Dana rear.

Ken ,
You got some nice photos from Atco , the Black '55 Coronet is my friends from North Jersey.
That car has the original 331 Hemi in it & is 4 sale...

Are you going to Fleming's Auto pumpkin run on Nov 8th?

Yes, that's an awesome show.  Over 2 hours from my house but worth the trip.  I'll be going with DJV, AbodyJoe, and a few other south Jersey Mopars. 

I forgot to tell you. When you pulled into the deli and were wrestling with the steering wheel to park my son (20) asked is that what manual steering is?  LOL

The steering is not that bad. I love manual steering..
I was fooling around as to where to park in that busy parking lot  :roflsmiley:.
My wife hate's when I mess around. Sometimes she doesn't have a sense of humor. She always says one day your going to be sorry after you hit something.
The scary part is she may be right.. :roflsmiley:
Probably see you down at Fleming's...
Vin......
