Mopar Shootout Sacramento Saturday, Sept 7,2019

[Dennis H]

Who is going?

 

[Kern Dog]

I'll be there, The car will not. I'm changing over to the Classic Auto Air system!

 

[1 Wild R/T]

I won't be there.... But I'll be in Tahoe the following weekend for the "Cool September Days" Car show....

Well I'll be at the show, but mostly I'm going cause the drive up Hwy 88 & 89 is one of my favorite routes.... And Tahoe is just a beautiful place...

 

[Kern Dog]

I never heard of that show...Tell me MORE!

 

[1 Wild R/T]

Been going on for many years.. Kinda small which is fine by me.... Last time I went was back in 2000, back then they had a poker run where you drove around Camp Richardson, Emerald bay & Meeks Bay gathering poker cards..

Back then three of us drove up, the Blk/White 71 Hemicuda originally ordered by a Oakland CHP officer, a Yellow 70 440-6 Cuda & my Challenger vert back when it was still pretty fresh....

There were four Mopar's... Best Mopar went to the 96 Dodge Ram...
Hey I wasn't there for a trophy & really don't care but seriously? Marlin's Hemicuda should have gotten the trophy...

Anyway point being it's an awesome venue & don't take anything to serious...

It use to be held in the parking lot of the High Sierra, now it's held at the Heavenly Ski Resort Parking Lot... From what I understand the poker run is now a poker walk cause a few folks got a little to rowdy... Shame, like I said before, the best part is the driving...

Anyway every year middle of September... This time we rented a house... Should be fun..

Come on up!!!

 

[BDF6]

I'd go but I'll be in Oregon on the return leg of a 1500 mile North West road trip...

If you plan to attend, go online to pre register and save a few $$. I did. See you there.

 

[Dennis H]

Excuses why there won’t be many classic B bodies there:

My car is apart, being worked on (in perpetuity).
I’m saving it for a big trip and the oil is already fresh. (Me).
My Passon A855 is on the truck enroute to Pennsylvania for repair. ‘Cuda. 2nd trip.

You’ll see modern Mopar and trucks.

Old guys full of bullshit excuses and delays.

 

[Kern Dog]

Well, sometimes the excuses are valid....

 

[Dennis H]

And frequent.

 

[CoronetDarter]

Dennis, earlier I texted you, John, and Dwayne. Dwayne said he's not coming. Anyone else driving up besides you?

 

[Dennis H]

John busy, Darius a maybe.

 

[Darius]

Darius is 98% sure, although, I am taking the GTX over to Deans and put it up on the lift to see what started rattling REAL BAD!! Unless it is down for parts or something, I will be there forth show at least but I really want to make a few fun runs.

 

[CoronetDarter]

Swapping in the Tanks inc efi tank is such a PITA. Its going to have to be the Dart this year.

 

[Dennis H]

Bringing this. See old guy excuse list in post 9.

 

[Dennis H]

So I can play with this.

 

[Dennis H]

Bump. Weather looks great. 80. Will the concession stand be open? Can we crash the Sac-crew tent.

 

[Kern Dog]

Yeah, looks like the heat won't be a problem for us this year. S C O R E !

Best I could do. Weather perfect. Staying in Rancho Cambodia. Hellcats are FAST!!! That’s Darius with the B Body shirt standing next to his friend. Saw the Kern, and not enough garage grilled some great burgers. Layed rubber with the Challenger first time. Capital City Mopar provides shade and good conversation. Bumper turnout to support an endangered Track.
