We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been up to on the Mopar side of the house since last year. Read on to find out!
Our event team and the folks at NMCA are pleased to continue offering a host of high-octane drag race classes catering to both old and new Mopars.
MoParty kicks off with what is one of the fastest growing swap meets in the Mopar world. Geoff McBryde is a well-known entity in the Mopar community and we’re pleased to have him join us again for this aspect of the event. Whether you’re hiding $$$ from the wife to find that perfect OE part to finish off your restoration or you’re the one doing the selling, you won’t want to miss our MoParty Swap Meet.

Grand Champion, Autocross & 3S Challenge competition are always a hoot to watch as competitors wheel their big bodied Detroit muscle around the cones for the lowest elapsed time.
The Off-Road Experience is perfect for those who want to see what off-road Mopars like Rams, Jeeps, and TRXs are capable of when they depart the asphalt and blaze their own trail off the beaten path. We’ve got a trophy truck inspired short course as well as an obstacle course designed to put off-road vehicles through their paces and test the mettle of those behind the wheel. This year we’re updating several aspects of the off-road experience and look forward to sharing more details on that as they become available. Find out more about this segment here.
MoParty may have a ton of driving action going on, but the show would be remiss if not for our stellar car show. We are rounding up an awesome panel of celebrities and industry professionals to help us select the coolest Mopar powered rides at the event! Get up to date with all of the car show classes they’ll be picking winners for here!
Other motorsport activities are scheduled for those that are bringing the entire family.
- Since the invention of the wheel and the engines that turn them, mankind has been utterly fascinated with the burnout. We do our best to pay proper homage to that rite of passage for gearheads at Moparty with our Burnout Contest. Only registered MoParty participants may participate. Click here to find out how you could have a chance to show fellow Mopar enthusiasts how capable you and your ride are at converting rubber into copious amounts of tire smoke!

- One of the best parts about launching MoParty registration early is that we can start promoting our Mullet Contest earlier as well. Get a head start on growing out your Kentucky Waterfall or Beaver Paddles growing. Find out more details on this family friendly contest here!
For those who are keen on spectating, those tickets can be purchased here.
All of the above action and more are coming at you this September, so act know and make plans to attend. Let’s all do our part to further our automotive community and help grow MoParty into THE place for vintage and late model Mopar motorsport and car culture!

Announcing Important Swap Meet Updates for 2022 Holley MoParty
While we know there ain’t no party like a MoParty, another staple of the event is the Swap Meet. MoParty staff have been working on improving that aspect of the show since our inaugural year and we’re excited to announce some changes for 2022 that will make for a much better experience for both swappers and swap vendors alike.
First things first, we’re excited to announce that Geoff McBryde of Showtime Restorations in Cherryville, North Carolina has joined the Holley MoParty team and will be serving 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. Please follow the link to our swap meet page for more information on how to get in touch with Geoff or sign up for a vendor space.
Also, for the first time at MoParty, we have shifted the location of the swap meet to the top of the hill close to spectator parking (see below for 2022 event layout. This is helpful in that it makes it much easier for a swap customer to lug that new swap meet deal they just couldn’t pass up back to their ride in spectator parking.
We look forward to seeing everyone out at our 2022 event as we continue to add to and improve the MoParty experience for everyone! Safe travels and we’ll see you at Beech Bend Raceway September 16-18th.

Mopar Survivors Headed to Holley MoParty In 2022
Holley is excited to announce their partnership with Mel Major to bring several Mopar Survivor cars to their 2022 Holley MoParty event.
Mopar Survivors are a group of unrestored Mopars and their owners who gather at events around the country like the Chrysler Carlisle Nationals to showcase their vehicles for the enjoyment of enthusiasts. These cars would not be competitive in a regular show field due to their factory imperfections,/error’s, so in order to keep the tradition of original cars going, the Mopar Survivors, including Mel Major’s own 1970 ‘Cuda, all banded together and have been showing their cars for going on 26 years, quite an accomplishment considering this is an ongoing hobby of Mel’s and not a full-time gig.
What makes for a Mopar Survivor? For cars to be eligible for inclusion, vehicles must be 85% original exterior paint, interior, and drivetrain. The purpose of Mopar Survivors is to get these cars out, enjoy them and display them for others to appreciate. They offer a great opportunity for folks that are restoring vehicles to come and see a Survivor to use as a “base “ reference for their Mopar build..
It’s mind warping to wonder how these cars have survived in the present condition, yet survive they have. Mel goes to great lengths to put together a short story and bio of each vehicle and it’s owner(s) to share a short story on how each vehicle has survived in its present condition for all these decades.
We look forward to welcoming Mel and the 8-10 Mopar Survivor owners and their vehicles to Bowling Green for the 3rd annual Holley MoParty. Mark your calendars and make sure to come out and enjoy them along with the rest of the planned activities this September 16-18th, 2022.
The only question that remains is what and how many Mopar Survivors can you expect to see? Stay tuned to our MoParty Facebook and Instagram pages to get a sneak peek of the rides that Mel has curated for the event.
Get your spectator tickets here.

Dodge//SRT and Mopar Unveil 2021 Dodge Challenger Mopar Drag Pak Equipped with Holley EFI and Racepak Products
[Bowling Green, Kentucky September 3rd, 2020]: Holley is excited to announce its involvement in the 2021 Dodge Challenger Mopar Drag Pak program and its ongoing support of NHRA Sportsman racers and classes.
“We’ve been fortunate to work with Mopar and Dodge//SRT for several years in the Drag Pak program,” said Robin Lawrence, Holley Director of Motorsports. “With successful championships from Geoff Turk and Leah Pruett, we’ve had some very impressive results come from our relationship, and as a continuation of that racing success Holley EFI was the natural choice for the 2021 Dodge Challenger Mopar Drag Pak.”
With Holley’s overall record of race-winning performance, and a decades-long relationship with performance teams and vehicles from FCA, Holley EFI and Racepak were the right tools for the job when building the quickest, fastest, and most powerful Challenger Drag Pak ever produced.
The following Holley products will be factory equipped on each of the 50, limited-production, Dodge Challenger Mopar Drag Pak vehicles:
- Holley EFI Dominator ECU
- Holley EFI 7” Digital Dash
- Racepak Smartwire Power Control Module

First Factory Built Dodge Charger 500 Slated to Attend MoParty
The inaugural Holley MoParty is set to be a blast, and the Holley gearheads are pulling out all the stops to make sure everyone has a great time! The name of the game here is Mopar fun folks, and if you’ve been following along with recent event updates, you already know that folks are bringing out some of the coolest Mopars to Beech Bend Raceway for this event.
As any Mopar enthusiasts would likely know, the Dodge Daytona began life as a Charger 500, and 2020 just so happens to be the 50th anniversary of the Charger nameplate! That said, we’re excited to announce that the documented first Charger 500 ever produced in its original non-restored factory condition is headed to MoParty this September. To see both the K&K Daytona and this original Charger 500 in the same venue will be a really unique experience for fans of both cars.
We look forward to MoParty fans being able to check this car out in person. For more information about the car, check out the article Al Rogers wrote for Hot Rod Magazine wrote on the car.
