I realize that there is no love for the Gas Monkey Garage here on this site as was explained to me on another thread, however I don't watch the show and therefore had no preconceived notions about attending the Dodge factory sponsored event yesterday ..., and I'm glad that I did. This show was not only a first class event, it was also the largest gathering of Mopars that I have ever seen. There were 850 cars in attendance not counting the factory vehicles on premises. Initially the event was to be for Chargers, Challengers, and Vipers only, however during the final week it was opened up to any Mopar as long as it was registered and driven into the event. There were roughly 50 classic & vintage Mopars in attendance and judging by the comments that we received from everyone that stopped by, it was the older iron that stole the show.
Dodge factory personnel, and money, was on full display! There was a drifting course set up with no less than four Vipers taking attendees on tire shredding ride-alongs all afternoon as well as a mock dragstrip complete with christmas tree that also provided ride-alongs in brand new Hellcat Challengers as they raced side by side for what looked like a 1/8th mile pass. There was also a factory display with two Hellcats somehow converted into an interactive video game that allowed you to drive the car on a track displayed on a large screen in front of the vehicles. There was also the full line of 2015 performance model Dodges on display for everyone to sit in and crawl all over as well as smoking hot info-babes close by to answer any of your questions. (they were pretty sharp too!)
Entertainment was provided on an outdoor stage during the afternoon as well as headliner Motley Crew that evening in the brand new "Gas Monkey Live" music venue. There were complimentary event T-shirts and other give-aways for all who attended, and oh ..., did I mention that the entire thing was free? Say what you will about this Rawlings character, but this show was "Top Shelf" and everyone had a blast!
I have hundreds of pictures if anyone is interested, here's a few to wet your appetite.
