The ground will be pounding and tires screaming as the third annual Holley MoParty<\/a> will ascend on Beech Bend Raceway<\/a> in Bowling Green, Kentucky, this weekend (September 16-18). In a high-octane rush of all things Mopar\u00ae<\/sub>, this fabled drag strip that also happens to have a massive skid pad and autocross course will be the epicenter of the planet when it comes to high-horsepower hijinks while a large gathering of rare and unique vehicles take over the rolling grassy hills that give Beech Bend its distinctive vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run What Ya Brung!<\/strong> <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The heart of the MoParty is by far the drag racing and the fine folks at Holley<\/a> have worked with numerous sponsors to create a multitude of classes where you run virtually any type of Mopar vehicle. Old or new school, there\u2019s something for everyone. From HEMI\u00ae<\/sup> Super Stock and HEMI Outlaw, to True Street, Stick Shift, and even a specific category for Challenger 1320\/Scat Pack machines, the staging lanes will have a constant flow of high-powered race and street machines doing battle and heading down historic Beech Bend Raceway\u2019s well-groomed surface. Winners will be eligible for an assortment of cash prizes and cool swag. For more details, check out the Holley MoParty Drag Racing class rules<\/a> and get your game on! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MoParty will also have experienced judges walking the show field looking at the cool cars for their picks, but it won\u2019t be easy. Here\u2019s the breakdown of the category\u2019s in which attendees can enter their sweet rides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diamonds in the Rough! <\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

No car show is worth its salt without a swap meet and this year\u2019s Holley MoParty event will have massive improvements. \u201cThe MoParty staff have been working on improving that aspect of the show since our inaugural year and we\u2019re excited to announce some changes for 2022 that will make for a much better experience for both swappers and swap vendors alike,\u201d noted Bill Tichenor, Marketing Director at Holley. \u201cWe reached out to Geoff McBryde of Showtime Restorations<\/a> in Cherryville, North Carolina, and has joined our Holley MoParty team. Geoff will serve as our main point of contact for all things swap meet. Geoff has accumulated a long resume of swap meet experience over the decades and is already working to streamline the swap meet experience for vendors. We\u2019ve also shifted the location of the swap meet to the top of the hill close to spectator parking. This is helpful in that it makes it much easier for a swap customer to lug those engine parts, sheet metal or just about anything else they\u2019ve scooped up in the swap meet area.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a Left, Then a Right! <\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Do you think your ride handles pretty well? Then put it to the test on the MoParty autocross! For those not hip to the scene, autocross is a low-speed competition designed to highlight the handling, acceleration and braking of your Mopar vehicle, regardless of which decade it was built. The autocross course at Beech Bend Raceway features wide sweepers, tight hairpins, chicanes and various slalom sections to keep you on your toes while your heart pumps on the redline from start to finish. The Holley MoParty Autocross Package is packed with extras the participants will dig, like the 3S (Speed, Stop and Steering) Challenge course (Sunday), HP Tuners Dyno Challenge<\/a>, countryside cruise and show ‘n shine. If you\u2019ve signed up for these events, better make sure your gas tank or fuel cell is topped off with some high-octane brew! You\u2019re guaranteed to enjoy a lot of track time over the course of the three-day event. Just note the rules, and safety requirements<\/a> before you roll onto the grid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As always, the Holley MoParty will have the Dodge Thrill Rides<\/a> presented by Arrington Performance<\/a> back to once again give attendees a taste of SRT Hellcat HEMI horsepower goodness wrapped in Challenger and Charger SRT shapely sheet metal. For those who also wish to leave their mark on Beech Bend’s pavement during MoParty and don\u2019t mind sacrificing a pair of rear tires to the horsepower gods, the Burnout Challenge<\/a> will also be happening this year. Remember, try to breathe through your mouth when the billowing smoke clouds start rolling your way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So, with summer ready to cross the finish line and pull the chutes, head to the Bluegrass State and experience MoParty. It\u2019ll be a gathering of mammoth proportions you won’t forget! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
