I just recieved a letter from John Clines of Mopars Unlimited. The letter stated they are unable to hold their annual drag race this year, due to the track not being available. Will this have any effect on the "Slant Six" race?

I sure hope we have a SS race in Ga. That is the nearest one to me. Don't know if I will have anything to run in time for Bristol. With all the overtime I have been putting in, have not been able to freshen up the engine in the Cuda. I just started on it reciently.

PS. you heard it here first. A friend, and coworker, is going to help me. We are going to try and have the Cuda, and the Turbo Valiant at Clay City. He will bring one of the cars up on his trailer, and drive it. Wish us luck, we have a lot of work ahead of us.

I'm here in Atlanta and would certainly be willing to help in whatever way I can to keep an event going here in Georgia. If anyone needs help coordinating, etc. let me know.

Post subject: That's great! (Tue Apr 15, 2003 6:28 am) Reply with quote

That's great! I am going to try to make it to a Sunday race soon. Once you start working out details, please let us know. I'll start stirring up some interest in the North Georgia Mopar Club. I started asking around about the track in Commerce and several people have repeated what has been said here about them being hard to work with. That just makes me want to try even harder to make it better. I'll let you all know if I make any progress.
Dale and Ron, I hope to meet you soon at Calhoun.
Rob
