Mopar Showdown Results
The 2nd Annual Markquart Mopar Showdown was one for the ages. Featuring drag racing, car show, swap meet, vendors, exhibition, and so so much more, there was something for everyone across a crisp fall weekend. We thank all of the volunteers through Mopar Showdown, led by Dan and Catherine Graul, who committed their blood sweat and many tears into a phenomenal weekend. Over 300 car show participants, more than 2,500 spectators, and an excess of 100 swap/vendors made the weekend a must attend event. While we all certainly felt like winners enjoying the weekend, congrats to those who visited the Mid-West Family of Eau Claire Winner's Circle and to the Midwest Mopars Car Show Winners!
