The Dodge Challenger Message Board

So far it looks as if the weather will be kind to us. How many of your "team" will come over for the EuroNats do you think?

Keep up the good weather

My buddy with the Charger and me with the Challenger have the plans to come if we can reschedule some other things. Tomorrow we know for sure if we make it or not as we're waiting on some last business calls.

Keep you informed.

By the end of this week it should be 28-30 degrees C. But with that much heat and moisture there is always a chance of the odd shower or thunder storm. I don't think we are expecting any persistant rain though. So it should be a good weekend.

Damn! I would be on a plane now headed to the UK, if they didnt send me back at Heathrow first! Good Luck Dave, hope you get there with your Pride&Joy.

Unfortunately me and my buddy can not attend the Nats this year. We tryed what we could but business won't let us go this time. We have to much work on our deck and it's still the business what makes the cars possible.

Real bummer though.

At least make some fun and show us pics you guys who are able to go.

That is a shame Hans. I will take plenty photos this time.

Weather reports are pretty good too but they are expecting the ocasional shower (as I thought) and one or two of those showers might be quite heavy.
But between the showers there should be plenty of hot sunshine.

Ah well will be a great weekend no matter what!

I'm back.

Exhausted and HOT!

I need a long soak in a cool bath.

Great weekend. Not a drop of rain. No idea what the official temps were but it must have been around 29 C (85 F) and humid with it. Way too hot for a Northern monkey like me.

Great turnout of cars.
Fantastic meeting all the usual faces and some new ones.

Wayne (RedRaven) had a terrible ordeal getting there (full story to follow) but, fingers crossed, he will make it home to ireland OK tonight without causing an emergency situation or even having to push his Challeger home.

His ferry leaves at 2am local time tonight (It is 9:50pm here as I write this) and the other Irish lads have promised me they will be keeping a close eye on him this time so they can make sure he gets home.

What a weekend!

Big well done to Bananaskin's dad Roydon for winning "Best Challenger" this weekend!

because he didn't have his glasses on he had no idea what he had won until later.
He was well chuffed when he realised.

And RedRaven felt a right tit for having broken down on the way there.

LOL Wayne! You're my hero man!!!

You're turn next year Eddie.

Quote from Jim Wilson of the organising committee;
"This was far and away the biggest turnout for any Nat’s ever. I am told the Mopar EuroNat’s is now the biggest ‘door slammer’ event in Europe, and the biggest Mopar event in the world outside of the USA and Canada".

I have to say. I could not believe the number of cars that turned up.

I hardly saw any of the track action myself. I spent most of the three days walking around and talking to people. I am so tired right now. I think i will have to have a nap after lunch.

YES, next year will be mine!! Glad to hear you had a great time Dave. I hope Wayne doesnt get slapped around by his wife.

sounds like mine and eds kind if place, any pix, we need pix,perhaps after your nap dave we can see some pix

I forgot to take my camera.......

I am a rubbish photographer anyway.
I will post up some of the more professional looking photos taken by other people when I can steal them.

Thanks for the mention of my dad Dave, he was really quite shocked as he won top 10 last year with the car looking now different what so ever, he was told he wouldnt get another this year by Pete, o how he was wrong

Nice to have a bit of chat with you at the weekend when i saw you, did that 'cuda get sorted?

Was turly a great weekend, cant wait for next year now, when hopefully mine will be there with behind the wheel

O and btw if anyone is interested in my Dads 72 Rallye Chally, pm me as it is for sale, may post an ad up in the near future!

I forgot to take my camera. oh man ,well i dont take pix worth a crap either, but if you can i would love to see some pix!

There should be quite a few to see by sometime tonight.

Here is one of member Jimbob440. Nice talking to you dude.

yes i love those pix, i like to look at the details,and the advertisements,like "pukka-pies",and the nice wrinkle in the m/ts

nice to catch up to dave had a superb weekend didnt get the times i was expecting tho prob due to the heat but still managed 12.7 at 105mph with a 1.81 60 ft , with cooler air should be running 12.2-12.3 , best mopar nats ever, thanks for the compliments on the car to

12.7 at 105mph with a 1.81 60 ft,awe some pure power, nice run!

at a prev event i ran 12.6 at 109 running a 850 speed demon since then ive fitted a holley 850 double pumper which has made it much sharper off the line but like i say far to hot to get good times . still doing ok as im still on 3.23 rear gears , all good fun

You really should post some photos of how the car was before you started work on it. You have done some fantastic work on that car to get it looking that good.

3.23 rear gears,even more impressive!

Thats flyin!

dave,if i had a scanner i,d put the pics up but sadly i dont at one point it was quite scary to look at with no quarters, bootlid, tail light panel, just a boot floor , roof, floor pan and front frame and as i said even the top cowl was cut off , if your at hot rod drags il bring my photo build up , a long haul and many quiet nights in the garage but more than worth it , i think you once said most people would give there right arm to be in a 70 chall , how true that is . pic is from camping at the pod good to meet up with a few guys from here to and glad to hear red raven got home safely good o n ya dave for helpin the lad out
