This year, a fella named Austin Griggs put together the first annual, Mopar Vs Brand X Street Car Show Down. The event took place in Moulton, Alabama at Jakes Drag strip and had quite the turnout. Full day of events, a 40+ mile cruise around the forest, mobile chassis dyno and of course, the races themselves.
The event is open to all cars 1999 and older, rear wheel drive Street cars. Three different race classes but the main being, Gladiator Street cars: Pump gas, 295 or smaller treaded drag radials, valid registration and insurance, must make the 40 mile cruise day of race, factory rear suspension, factory frame, mufflers, battery, charging system and lights all working, period correct drivetrains (LA, Magnum B, RB, Gen 1&2 Hemi swaps OK) No race blocks, No power adders, No Transbrake, No Dominator Carbs or equivalent throttle body.
With the successful turn out this year, next years event is already under plan and there’s thoughts of adding a Mopar 318 Fest to round out a full week of racing. A lot of nice cars made it out Including a 408hp, 1966 GTX that took 3rd overall; couple Pontiacs took 1st and 2nd this year.
I’m going to be making the drive out next October and hopefully some of you may too.
