Mopars in the Park - Video update

There were many high lights of this year’s Midwest Mopars in the Park National Car Show and Swap Meet. So many that we decided to hire a professional film crew to capture them and produce a video for you to enjoy for years to come.

 For example, Mr. Bob Cahill the father of Mopar and our Grand Marshall, Akron Arlen Vanke, Miss Mighty Mopar Judy Lilly, Don Grotheer, two of the Original Ramchargers Tom Coddington and Dave Rockwell, Mr. 4 Speed Herb McCandless and The California Flash Butch Leal reminiscing about the glory days of Mopar drag racing.

That circle of drag racing greats put together for almost an hour speaking candidly and poking fun at one another may never be assembled again. We knew it was going to be special and stir emotions – we weren’t wrong. Ever been to a Herb McCandless performance seminar? You’ll have one at your finger tips now as one of the greatest names in Super Stock freely gives out advice for getting the best out of your ride.

You’ll see the opening ceremony complete with the reunion of the Dick andy family and Dick’s ’67 Hemi Coronet – a great moment. Funny Car legends Roland Leong and Larry Reyes talk to the crowd and answer questions. All of this and more in one almost 2 hour long DVD that will be available to you soon. Watch for updates and your opportunity to purchase this great collectible at the club store!
