I ran my bracket Duster at many of the Chrysler Classic races during the Jeff days and the Charlie days, most recently in May at the last Mopower event. Jeff sold the series to Charlie around 2006, and they got into a fued over little stuff over the years. Dwindling car counts, lack of sponsors, and bad weather finally killed it after Columbus. I had a lot of fun going to these Mopar-only races over the years and met some great racers and people such as Bob George, Frito, Don Bales, and the killer bracket racers that usually rule at NTR.

This race that Jeff is having at Tri-State did not pull in a lot of bracket cars last year, mainly because of the 100 degree heat. This year August has been very moderate, if this holds out they should get more cars, and with the Hemi cars there it should be a good show.

Now, Bob, I know you're not happy with the scheduling of this race, your memorial race, the Mopar Nats, etc. back-to-back in August. I agree with you completely. Let's ask these promoters to try to work together to spread these events out better.
