Default Mopars in the Park, Minnesota 6-5-2010

We had our Big Mopar show this weekend up in the Twin Cites Area, this show has grown every year and I heard this weekend it is now the 2nd largest in the country and the largest in the Midwest even though the weekend was crumby and rained it still was a good turn out. Grand Marshall was Bob Cahill the God Father of the Hemi and with out a doubt one of the Main Key guys to the Chrysler Racing Program with out him alot of these cars and racers wouldnt exsist. He is 95 years young and a blast to talk with I was lucky enough to get to spend alot of time with all off the special guests this weekend and hear stories that my cheeks are still hurting from tonight from laughing so hard! I also was able to hear stories about Mr. Cahill bringing his company car in to test things and have new performance items added almost weekly and so many more pricless stories. Needless to say it was a Great weekend and one I'll remember forever.

The highlight for me was displaying my Butch Leal 1967 Dodge WO23 HEMI Super Stock, this was the first time Butch had got to see the car since it was restored. Another great part was Butch signing my Certificate of Authenticity and getting Bob Cahill to sign on as the witness.. Ive included pics of this and of the other famous race cars in the building wish I could have got more but it was a busy weekend and rainy.

Other Special Guest on hand were, Judy Lilly "Miss Mighty Mopar", "Akron" Arlen Vanke, Don Grotheer, " Mr. 4 Speed" Herb McCandless, "Ramchargers" Todd Coddington, "Dandy" Dick Landy's Family, Roland Leong, and Bob Cahill. All great people and a blast to talk to and some of the nicest people you could ever meet.
