Center Line, Mich. — As the action gets ready to roll on Thunder Mountain at
Bandimere Speedway for the 27th Annual Mopar Mile-High Nationals, downtown
Golden, Colo., is set to see some action of its own. The Mopar Big Block Party
is set to kick off on Thursday, July 13, from 6 to 10 p.m. MDT. A hit with
NHRA competitors and fans alike, the Mopar Big Block Party serves as the “

Mopar will host an open press conference on the stage from 6:15 p.m. to
6:30 p.m. MDT, followed by a MoPowered wedding. Newly ordained “minister�?? Gary
Scelzi will lead a Mopar-crazed couple in taking their vows, as Ron Capps and
Angelle Sampey look on as the duo’s best man and maid of honor.
This year’s festivities will be caught on film, as Speed Channel’s “
SpeedFreaks�?? will tape a live show from the event. Race fans will have an
opportunity to get up close and personal with Kenny Sargent, Crash Gladys, Statt Mann
and Lugg Nuttz of the Freak Nation.
Headlining the entertainment for the Mopar Big Block Party will be Chicago’s
best cover band, Maggie Speaks. The fabulous foursome of David Calzaretta,
Blake Cooper, Shawn Sommer and Samir Varma will again appear on Chi-town’s
