Mopar Nationals USA Videos

Post by Jim »

Between 1993 and 2003 I made videos of the Mopar Nationals at Indianapolis Indiana, then at Columbus Ohio. I was there most years. I haven't seen most of these videos for over 20 years. I have recently had them all converted to mp4 and started to upload them to You Tube. I've started with the last one I made in 2003. I filmed the show cars, race cars, cars for sale, interviews, and the police chasing the burnout cars on Brice Road, all with full commentary by me. This was the Mopar Nationals at its best period.... The cars asking prices will shock nowadays.

Hi Derek, you and I oldies remember… I think the younger members will enjoy these. This really was the heyday of the US Nat’s.

Hi Jim
I remember very well getting those off you back in the day , and I would watch for hours , think it got to the stage they just wore out but enjoyed every moment and yes I do remember a cop car pulling a guy over that had just done a burnout on Brice road . People that where sat by the side of the road throwing down water and encouraging cars flex their muscle .
I can only imagine if I were to look at some of the car prices , should have bought more then .
thanks Jim going to relive those memories asap
Yours
GUY :salute:

Several more added. I've run out of time today, only one left (1997 USA Nat's).
Ill put that one up tomorrow. I hope some of you enjoy these videos. The Mopar Nat's in the USA is not as big or as crazy as it used to be. The era through the 90's and early 2000's was its heyday. Brice Road will probably never happen again.
