(Words and photos by Jacob Marshall) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Frequent Bangshifters will know that while I embrace any hunk of metal that burns gas and spins tires, my heart truly lies with Mopars. As a result, this past weekend at Summit Motorsports Park, in Norwalk Ohio, gave me total sensory overload. I was completely overwhelmed with the amount of fast Mopars present. The staging lanes were full of everything from Slant Six A bodies, to Hemi powered Super Stockers. While the words \u201cHeaven\u201d or \u201cNirvana\u201d may come to mind, the event is actually called Monster Mopar. And the longer I spent walking the pits, car show, swap meet, and track, the more I realized what an apt name that really was.<\/p>\n

While the event got off to a slow start due to weather and a freak accident involving a spectator and a spark plug, the track crew was on the ball with one of the quicker track dryings I\u2019ve ever witnessed. Darts, Dusters, Cudas, Challengers, and other Muscle Mopars were definitely the norm, but some of Chrysler\u2019s finest oddball machines were on the track as well. Hopped up Rampages, Daytonas, an 11 second Dodge A-100 van, and even a wheelstanding Jeep Cherokee XJ were in the mix! Those of you under the blue oval persuasion would be pleased to know there was a Ford Maverick present, but with a big Pentastar in the grille, and a nasty Mopar under the hood. But this anti \u201cLS swap\u201d attitude could be found in other non Mopars in attendance with Mopar power plants, like the black Volvo and Ford Roadster in the attached gallery. This year was my first time attending the event, but seeing the quality of the track, and the potency of the cars present, I know it\u2019s going to make my yearly calendar of events for years to come. Sit down, crack open a cold one, and forget about all that other nonsense for a while, it\u2019s time for MONSTER MOPAR!!!<\/p>\n
