2007 Columbus, OH - Mopar Nationals

BUMP!!! . . . Mopar Nats start tomorrow.

I am looking forward to them. Did you all pay in advance for the pass to allow you to park in the show? Since I am only attending one day, Saturday, I was going to pay general admission. I would park in the VIP unless anyone has an extra show pass they would be willing to sell for the Saturday show?

Everybody will be parking in general admission area. I was the only one that bought advance ticket for the show. That's why everybody is meeting up prior to heading into the event on saturday so that they can all park next to each other.

You are a smart man......

I was unsure if I was going to be able to make it to the show this year, so I opted on not getting the pre-register tickets.

Where is everyone meeting upon Saturday? If it is not out of my way, I would love to drive in and park together.

Looking forward to the show.

Saturday, 8/11, meeting @ 8am (Hooter's-5901 East Main Street, Columbus, OH, 43213) rolling out by 8:30am to Nats

Far less traffic to take Main Street out there than following I-70 all the way to the track.

Call me a noob, but I am unable to locate the links for the pics.

As well, I am sorry I did not have a chance to meet up. I had a 3 yr old having a melt down. I parked in the VIP lot for $5.00. Boy, if it wasnt for the breeze and a low humidity day, it would have been terrible. I would have had a meltdown. LOL The sun was blistering, but it made for a fantastic day.

I saw only one Chrysler 300C SRT-8 at the show inside the grounds.

A review of the event:

I was disappointed in the Mopar tent. I always loved to see the up and comming concept cars, but it was quite lackluster to say the least.

The direct connection performance tent did not have a large display of crate engines, perfomance goodies as in the past.

Indy had a great engine display. Boy has that company grown.

The Edelbrock tent made me laugh. It was chock full of goodies...Mainly for Ford and Chevy. LOL

As for the Car Coral...There were some good deals and outrageous asking figures. Reality has not set in on some folks.

In the evening, Brice road was a travesty. In the past, 75% of the cars cruising were mopars. Maybe it was me and the time I showed, but Mopars were certainly the minority. Mostly locals. Plus, the cops had the street tighter than a drum. Crusing was no longer fun due to traffic. I also noticed the strip was much shorter. People did not cruise far down Brice and most spectators were huddled around the hotels near the 70....

I left late on Sunday. 3:00 pm Most were gone by then. The show was small and Brice was nearly empty. I did not see one Classic Mopar on the way back to D.C.
