For the best news in the American car World

Mopar Euro Nats this weekend!

Seventies chart toppers Mungo Jerry will be heading up a high-octane weekend of Stateside-inspired antics at the Mopar Nationals at Santa Pod Raceway between Friday 30 July and Sunday 1 August.

The band, well known and loved for their Global smash ‘In the Summertime’ and celebrating the 40th anniversary of the song, will be the icing on the cake of a weekend that promises so much to car enthusiasts and party people everywhere. The event is known to be one of the largest and most impressive gathering of American Muscle cars in the UK, and with a packed race programme filling the air with the sonorous sound of big-block V8 engines, there should be as much ‘music’ off stage as on it!

As well as non-stop quarter-mile action, expect to see these metal leviathans burning rubber both in the drift arena and also in the ‘Burn-out’ competition - where horsepower is king - and a brand new set of tyres has been known to last a couple of minutes!

With camping all weekend, a fully licensed bar and disco, plus an impressive line-up of flawless show cars to drool over, there really is something for everything – and with Mungo Jerry hopefully serving up some ‘summertime’ weather, it’s definitely one not to miss!

This is the 17th annual the Mopar EuroNationals at Santa Pod Raceway on 30-31 July and 1 August.

The Sixties and early Seventies were the era of the American Musclecar. Back then performance was everything, as auto makers were stuffing their biggest engines into their intermediate two-door cars, which the owners could drive to work every day and race them every weekend at drag race tracks all over the country.

Today many of these ‘muscle cars’ are over 40 years old yet they’re still seeing strip service and they still command a great following of enthusiasts all over the world.

Expect to see Dodge Chargers and Challengers, Plymouth Road Runners and Barracudas, Chevrolet Camaros, Ford Mustangs and many more. Some cars will be on display in the show-and-shine while others will still be doing what they do best racing against each other on the drag race track.
