CKiW iRADIO 76‘s ”THE 5:15 SHOW” WITH GUEST JOE PAPPAS OF THE MOPAR MISSILE

ATTENTION to those who reside in the House of Mopar (or just like drag racing from the golden era), tonight you will be treated to the return of Joe Pappas of Mopar (Motown) Missile fame. On today's show, Joe talks in detail about the infamous "Wire Car" that was so ahead of it's time, it was banned from NHRA competition. Also discussed on the show: Sox and Martin, Herb, NHRA slaps Mopar cars with more weight requirements, Mopar racing in the early 70's, why they went from E body to an A, a new Pro Stock class?, NHRA vs. Mopar, running "Dodge" Colts in drag racing, what was the greatest year for drag racing, match racing and dominating, what happened to the wire car and so much more!  Producers Note: Mr. Pappas is absolutely one of our favorite guests to have on. We have had him on twice and that was not enough time to even scratch the surface of all of the questions that we have for him. Incredibly engaging, a wealth of first hand knowledge and a light hearted speaking manor, Mr. Pappas is well worth your time to listen to. We look forward to having Joe with us again in the near future...
