Chrysler Nationals 2026 - Carlisle MoPar


As you can see by the winner’s list below, we had plenty of Letter, Hurst and non-letter 300s on the field. The club tent was more than welcome during several rain downpours. But the weather was not unbearably hot, the people were nice and the cars were excellent.

Charlie Valentine was our tent ringmaster boss and as always, did a terrific job. His black G is stunning and worthy of all the admirers that stopped to look. Charlie has a sign in sheet and this year added a column for notes. “Friendly, helpful club members” (thanks Raymond Brigley - enjoyed the photos of your F cv), “Very Nice!” (Thanks Paul Wimmer) , “Want to join.” were added. So Doug Miller, if you’re out there, get in touch with us. We want you to join too.

We did gain one new club member, Blake Krabbe with his 68-300 and lots of renewals, Jack Hooks, Lynn Nelson, Mike Frenchek, etc. We did miss our Iola-bound folks this year, but the East Coast was well represented along with California’s DeAndrea Vantree, who always comes to visit. We enjoy seeing Chad Coulter’s black 300 F convertible in the survivor’s tent every year. For all the rest who came without their car, we did enjoy the photos. We missed photos from Mick Kreszock, Mark Obermann, Scott Taylor, Ron Klinczar (who promises his 65-300 for next year). Dave Dumais was parts hunting. Ralph Rhees and Jim Rockey promise to bring the K next year.

Love to have our vendors drop in, Dave Clelland, Murray Park, Ray Jones, and others already named. Happy to see our stop-and-talk-awhile folks, Bill Laird, Alan Alkus and his lovely daughter, Sasha. Jamie Hyde came to get some parts, and tell tales of his many miles on the road. We saw Jason Vernon’s 300 C and Brian Walker’s B there, but missed them in the tent. As a side note the 300 F listed as Gloria Moon’s is a family “Moon car” (Allan-Gloria-Lloyd).

Paul White’s C-300 is the shell of the C-300 dropped over a Hellcat interior, engine and drive train with some frame modifications. It drew lots of attention, along with his black C-300. The two Hursts were extremely nice, and neither one sported the side markers. Jack Hook’s Hurst had the rim blow steering wheel and auto door locks.

We thank everyone listed below who drove their 300s. And if we missed mentioning you, we apologize. And to those who couldn’t make it this year, hope to see you next year.
