I don't know, but when I went on-line to check on prices today, a cancellation-refundable double room was $115 a night. $134 if you want breakfast included. I hope some type of group discount becomes available.

slingshotjimmy · 04-17-2012, 09:23 PM

ask them about the mokan rate

KCsledz · 04-23-2012, 08:15 AM

Hold your horses boys! Yes we will hear from Ryan. Yes, a group rate is usually worked out at a hotel. And yes, it will be the best event that you attend all year!

Hey there M.A.J. you going to vend this year at the drags? Trying to make up mind mind, whether to vend or run. I have done both at the drags in the past and both are a blast.

**Model A John** · 05-16-2012, 11:50 AM

Well, I've never vended at the Drags, but I have raced there the last 3 years. Hope to see you there.

ReevesRacing · 05-16-2012, 04:42 PM

My car is a 65, is that too new to be part of this?

**Model A John** · 05-17-2012, 11:50 AM

When registration opens, you can e-mail a picture of your car to Ryan. He'll let you know if it's too new. If your avatar is the car you're talking about, I'd think you would have a chance of being accepted.

Racer29 · 05-17-2012, 02:36 PM

Try this link and take a look at the Mopar I was paired up against. Pretty close in year I think.

Nope, I`m leaving the `40 home this year...I`m trying to get a `29 roadster ready to drag this year. I hope to see you in joplin, to meet another 63 year old to see if the things I remember from the `60s were really like I remember!!!

**JasonCarGuy** · 05-30-2012, 01:52 PM

Ryan,
I've never been to the HAMB drags but definitely want to attend this year, probably just as a spectator. Do we have to pre-buy tickets if we are just going to watch, if so how much; or do we just show up and pay at the gate to watch? I'll be driving about 3 hours to this event that I'm so looking forward to seeing this year. My '31 pickup isn't fast enough to play with its 8BA flathead. Just trying to get some more details.
Love the HAMB. Jason

Jason,
Run your flattie- it is about fun, more than about fast. You will love it I guarantee!

Rodshop

**blacktopbuddha** · 05-30-2012, 11:51 PM

Just show up at the gate Sat and pay then, I think it's $10. There's plenty of flattys that run too. Some more warmed up than others, no biggie. It's all for a good time anyway. If you can, spend the night and go to the Holiday Inn in Joplin on Fri night too. Heck of a party.

Send a PM to MokanMan . He's the track manager. It will be his decision whether or not to allow camping overnight.

If you are self contained, you can probably park for the night in the Sam's Club parking lot across from the host hotel.
