Holley MoParty 2022 is in the books! Great weather and a fantastic turnout made for a wonderful weekend of automotive activities for anyone who made the trek out to Beech Bend Raceway in Kentucky. From the deals that could be had in the swap meet to the absolute anarchy that was the burnout contest on Saturday night, the autocross action on the oval track and the dirt being thrown on the Off-Road Challenge, a good time was had by all. We saw 10-second front-wheel-drive Daytonas. We saw a four-wheel-drive stepside Tin Grille with Li'l Red Express stacks and flamethrowers pull into the burnout pit like it owned the place. We saw a 1970 Charger convertible...and you're truly a Mopar gearhead if you know what is wrong with that sentence. We saw it all, and we're glad you did too! Thank you to everyone who came out and enjoyed the weekend with us...we hope to see you again next year!

Winner: Ryan Davis's 2000 Dodge Dakota R/T didn't just bring enough smoke to leave a cloud hanging over the oval pit. His blue and green smoke tires treated the audience to a disappearing act...after a few seconds, you could only hear the truck!
Runner-Up: John Hall's Hooptie X 1998 Jeep XJ wasn't killed off on the off-road course, so he slapped on street tires and treated the audience to one of the angriest AMC inline-six howls heard in recent memory while nuking the tires off.
