    All day Mopar-only car show and drag race at Infineon raceway on Saturday 6/6/09. For you out of towners there is also bracket racing the following Sunday as well.

    www.infineonraceway.com

    www.winecountrymopar.com

    Last year we got about 10 runs on Mopar Day. This year we expect more folks and about 25 LX cars are on the list over at LXforums:

    http://www.lxforums.com/board/showthread.php?t=141291

    There was a professional photographer there last year taking pics of people launching and doing burnouts. He had copies available for purchase on line.

    Infineon Raceway, if you haven't been there, is a nice facility with a cafeteria, a racing shop (they sell helmets, books, videos, racing seats, etc.) and a good quality track that is close to sea level.

    Timed runs start around 8am and go to about noon or 1PM when bracket racing starts.

    We're hoping to get 32 LXs and hemi-powered Jeeps there so we'll have our own class.

    Let me know if you have any questions or want to be added to the list. Spread the word if you are local.

    Hopefully Trojan, DVSSRT8 and Talon will be there. It would be well worth it just to see these fastest/highest horsepower west coast rides in action!

    I know a few folks who are getting mods now that will be running for the first time at this event. If you are thinking of modding your car and you are local this will be the place to check out what these mods can do.

    Cool, got about 32 folks coming right now including at least 4 supercharged cars, 4 heads/cam cars and a turbo 392. Should make for an interesting day.

    So anything special I need to do? Or just drive up there and show up and register that day. I went to the Wine Country Mopar site. Looks like I just need to print out the registration form and bring that along.

    Scott, what time do you plan to drive up there? I assume one doesn't have to race but can just watch...

    Nothing special to do, like you said.

    You don't have to race but then again why did you buy a HEMI?

    Forecast is high 60s and partly sunny. With full track prep (there'll be some dragsters) we'll have close to ideal conditions. Good luck finding weather like this again until October. Get ready for some new records!!!

    Scott, let me know when you plan to drive up there. Would be great if we could meet down here first.
