What if they came to see a car show and a swap meet and got to see a drag race too? That is exactly what happened on July 18 at Woodburn Dragstrip at the 25th Annual Mopar Nationals hosted by Mopar Musclecars and presented by Oldies 106.7. Because of the size of the fields in both Pro and Sportsman, each class was divided and two winners were awarded in each class.
