http://www.mopar-nation.com/MWM/Registration/This weekend will be the big late model Mopar show in OKC.
If you want details, you can read their official website below...I'll stick to the highlights. The information is a bit scattered and not all in one place that I can find...I think there is also a show entry and t-shirt for $25, but I'm not sure if the t-shirts have been cut off yet for ordering...Regardless, all you need to know is the price isn't too bad and most importantly it benefits the Wounded Warrior Project. This is a good time with cruising, racing, and a car show.
Friday, July 26th, 2013: Drag Race at Thunder Valley in Noble, OK
Friday night will be drag racing in Noble, OK at Thunder Valley. They list it out as $5 Tech Card, $10 to Race, and $20 for the Gambler's Race with a $10 buy back. It looks like folks will head to the track around 6 PM. Thunder Valley is a great facility.
Saturday, July 27th, 2013: Car Show at Joe B. Barnes Park in Oklahoma City
Saturday morning the show will take place at Joe B. Barnes Regional Park in OKC. The hope is that the shade will help keep folks a little cooler than the casino parking lot...I've heard it is a pretty nice park.
This is a nice, centrally located event and serves as a chance for folks to come out from their regional basis and rally in OKC for a good time. If you plan to attend, please post up!
The caravan out of Amarillo will leave eastbound for OKC Friday morning at 11 AM. If you are coming in from the west, let me know and we'll try to meet up with you.
Anyone coming in from DFW, east of OKC, or north of the area feel free to orchestrate a group cruise in of your own.

We will be racing at Thunder Valley Raceway in Noble, OK. It is $5 for a tech card, $10 to enter. Gates open at 6pm and we will caravan out there from the hotel. If you want to just come out and make a few passes you are more than welcome, or you can enter in the $20 Mopar only Gamblers race. For the gamblers race you can make as many passes as you want until 8pm. At 8pm we will need everyone to set their dial in times. We will then line them up and see who can be the most consistent without breaking out or red lighting. This allows us to match a stock 2.7 against a 7.0 with nitrous and both have an equal chance of winning. If you are knocked out, red light, or break out in the first round you will be given a chance to buy back in for another $10. At the end of the night whoever is left standing will win a RePlay XD1080 video camera system along with 20% of the pot and the rest will be donated to WWP.
We will also have a best reaction time contest if you would like to enter. It is $10 for the whole night to participate. So if you think you have a good enough reaction time pay the $10 and run as much as you want trying to get the best reaction time of the night. Whoever has the best time will win 1/2 the pot with the other half going to WWP. Last years winner had a reaction time of 0.006!!!!!!
