Chryslers in the Canyon 6: Saturday Schedule and Official Artwork

The awards are in, the shirts are in, the Mopars are rolling in...The only questions is ARE YOU IN?

Chryslers in the Canyon 6 is shaping up to be yet another great time with a very impressive show field and more awards to cover that show field.

This will quickly walk you thru what to expect Saturday...Make sure to bring some water, snacks, and a camera...You are going to have a great time!

Let's get started with a little look at the Official Chryslers in the Canyon 6 Artwork!  

Chryslers in the Canyon 6 Dash Plaque

Saturday, October 11th, 2014: Chryslers in the Canyon 6

Meet Up and Cruise to the Show: 10 Miles with Mopars

We will meet up Saturday morning at the West Texas A&M University Events Center around 9:30 AM CST.  At 10 AM we will begin dispatching small groups to the canyon.  You literally just head due east on 4th Avenue/State Higway 217 and you dead end at the canyon....It is incredibly simple.  We try to send a local member with each group just be safe...The drive to the canyon is approximately 10 miles.

At the Canyon: $3 Per Person Park Entry Fee, Have it Ready

We send small groups to help the Park Rangers get you in the gates as quick as possible.  A long line is super cool to take pictures of, but isn't the most efficient method of entry.  To help expedite the process, please have $3 per person ready to go.  If you have any questions, the Rangers will be more than happy to help and absolutely love seeing all the cool rides, especially if you are from out-of-state!

Going Down to the Show: One Amazing Drive

Once you have paid your gate fee, you are in!  All you do now is follow the road...If you have a GoPro, Camcorder, or even just your phone camera, it is great to be ready to capture a great drive.  As you make the final curve and the road levels out, you will see a lady to your left with a big camera...This is Della, our pro-photographer.

Smile for the Cameras

Della Moyer Photography

Della will snap pics of you in your Mopar as you level out down the hill and turn into the lot.  She will be on the driver's side unless the lighting is an issue...When you see Della slow down a bit so she can snap your ride at the best angle!

YouTube Video

If you see a guy filming from a tripod as you come down the hill, or enter the parking lot, that would be me.  Horn Honks, Revs, and Waves are all welcome.  I edit and upload the video the Amarillo Area Mopars YouTube Channel to show everyone else what the missed, and encourage them to attend next year.

Parking and Registration

Park by Similar Mopars

If we don't have someone to kind of direct you where to park, just find a Mopar similar to your own and park by it.  This will help you have a better chance of networking and it makes for better pictures and videos.  If you show up in a 68 Charger, look for other 2nd Gen Chargers, or B-Bodies.  If you come down in a 2015 Challenger, look for other late model Challengers.  Rams=Rams,Dusters=Dusters, Vipers=Vipers, etc.

Register and Place the Dash Card on the Driver's Side

I know some of you pre-registered...that is to help us custom tailor the awards to the show field!  Once you are parked we ask that you make a trip to the Registration Table.  We have a simple dash card to fill out with basic info like: Your Name, Year, Make and Mode of your Mopar, etc.  Please be sure to indicate where you came from AND how far you drove to the show.  

After registering, please place your Dash Card on the Driver's Side of the Dash!  This will help CIC Staff select the Award Winners as quickly as possible.

During the Show: Scoping out Mopars, Networking and Taking Pics

During the show you can snap pics, chat with other Moparians about their rides, scavenge flyers on the Swap Board, or just relax and enjoy the scenery of Mopars and Nature around you.  If you have specific pictures you would like taken, just ask Della...she will be more than happy to accommodate you.  And yes, if you are wondering about taking a family photo with your Mopar and the canyon as the backdrop you are not the first one, it is not awkward, and it will be way cooler than the family photo all your friends have back home...Seize the moment and enjoy yourself.

Awards

We hope to start the awards at 3 PM.  Having so many great Mopars on site makes our job pretty difficult.  Again, you can help us expedite the selection process by having your dash card filled out and on the driver’s side of the dash!

If you win an award I would ask that you stick around after the show to have Della take a picture of you, your Mopar, and your award.  If you are camera shy, or prefer to keep the focus on your ride, that is fine…We will likely use the “Texas” sign as the backdrop.  There is a chance some of these pics could make magazines and be used as promotional shots for Chryslers in the Canyon!  It only takes a few minutes for the picture, so please take advantage of the opportunity to add a cool, award winning photo to your Brag Book.

After the Show: Cruise to the Big Texan

For those of you interested, we will lead folks up to the World Famous Big Texan Steak Ranch.  This is the same place you have likely heard about and seen on TV.  The 72 oz. steak really is free, but only if you eat it in an hour.  The place is very lively and should be a blast for everyone to check out.  It is family friendly and offers a wide variety of foods on the menu.

Post Big Texan: Cruising Amarillo

If you are staying the night Saturday, we can have local folks help lead you back to your hotel, or if you feel like staying out later we can lead you on cruises around town.  There are several options: Polk Street (the “old” drag: Downtown Amarillo), 6^th Street (dive bars, thrift stores, and more: Route 66), and 45^th (the “new” drag: Southwest Amarillo).  We will just play it by ear and try to make it as much fun as possible.  Or if you are really having a good time we could make one giant loop to cover all 3, lol.

Conclusion

Our ultimate goal is for you to have a great time.  Chryslers in the Canyon is a true grass-roots event that has expanded radially by word-of-mouth, which we believe is the best testament to the great time attendees have.  We want you to enjoy yourself so much that you come again next year...with friends.

We also invite you to connect with us online.  You are more than welcome to sign up on the AAM Forum to make use of the Classifieds, share progress on your latest projects, or simply to shoot the breeze and share local car show info.  Take the links below and stay in the loop year round.

We sincerely thank you for attending Chryslers in the Canyon 6 and hope you have a genuinely great time!

Chryslers in the Canyon 6 Pre-Registration Form

Chryslers in the Canyon 6 Pre-Registration is now open! This ALL MOPAR Event will take place Saturday, October 11th, 2014.

 Pre-Registration is vital for CIC 6 for the simple fact it is how we base our classes and awards. If we are going to have a group of 50 70-76 A-Bodies or 50 68-70 B-Bodies we will adjust accordingly. If you do not pre-register, we don't know you are coming and can't custom tailor the awards to our attendees.

 If you are bringing multiple Mopars, please make sure to pre-register each one separately. Similarly, if you know of a friend planning to attend who is "offline" feel free to submit their information. You can share this form via this post, or the direct link to the form online: http://www.amarilloareamopars.com/cic6registration

Chryslers in the Canyon VI Event Date Set: Saturday, October 11th, 2014

Just as an update to those of you planning your MoCalendar ahead of time...

Chryslers in the Canyon VI is slated for Saturday, October 11th, 2014.

I will have flyers up in the not too distant future, so be on the lookout for more information!

Things are already under way to make this year's event the best yet!

Chryslers in the Canyon V Flyer

Chryslers in the Canyon V will take place Saturday, October 12th, 2013 in scenic Palo Duro Canyon.  We have once again reserved the Mack Dick Pavilion to provide accommodations for attendees.  We are in the process of making several improvements and think that this year will be the best yet!

A few things that have not changed is the fact that the show is free, Della will be on site to take pictures of your Mopar, and we will flim your car entering the canyon and upload it on YouTube.

Among the improvements for this year will be the new meet up point at Walmart.  While, not our ideal location, due to circumstances beyond our control it will work quite well. This location is just north of town and only adds a minute or two of drive time to the cruise.

Entry fee to the park will be $5 per person, but last year they made a last minute change and gave everyone a discount...That may happen again this year, but my advice is to plan on $5 per person and then gladly take the change if it pans out that way.

Event shirts should be available on site and made to your spec.

The awards will be structured in largely the same manner, but with our pre-registration going up extremely early this year we have the flexibility to add awards or adjust a few etc.

You can help us make this happen AND increase your own chances of winning by registering now:

You can also help us out by spreading the word on Chryslers in the Canyon V and printing off flyers to hand out in your area.

We look forward to seeing you and your Mopar this October!

We will have more information and flyers out soon.

Mark your calendars now and spread the good word!

Chryslers in the Canyon IV Show Field Videos

Here is an assortment of videos from this year's Chryslers in the Canyon...

Thanks to Jamie, we have a full, detailed walk through video of the show field in the late afternoon:

Chryslers in the Canyon IV Show Field Walk Around

I made a very quick walk down the aisles when I was thinking that is all we might have time for...luckily that was not the case, but since it was recorded, I figured it just as well be posted:

Chryslers in the Canyon IV Drive-Thru Video by TexasMopars

This one was sent in by Belden (TexasMopars) and was shot from his mobile Mopar you might have seen casing the lot from time-to-time.


If you've got any videos to share feel free to send them in...we will post them and give you credit for the media.

Chryslers in the Canyon IV Winners

Here is a list of Winners from Chryslers in the Canyon IV.  We had a great turnout and the most difficult part of the show was simply selecting the winners as we had so many top-notch and deserving Mopars on hand.

All of the pictures below came from our pro-photographer Della Moyer.  You can order these shots from her Smugmug account.  Here is the link:

I may go ahead and make a video of the winners as well...Stay tuned for that!

As you can see...with 24 awards we have really ratcheted up the hardware output.  Chryslers in the Canyon IV will be covered in Chrysler Power Magazine, Lone Star Mopars, and will have pictures and videos that you will likely see on all places Mopar across the internet.

CIC is truly a grass-roots event.  We have kept the emphasis on FUN, the price at a minimum, and eliminated all the bs and redtape you find at most car shows.  The result is a great time and once you attend, you will pen it in as an annual event.

We do ask that winners stick around a little while after the awards ceremony so we can have Della snap pictures of you, your Mopar, and your new hardware.  It won't take long and it forever cements the memory and milestone for you and your Mopar.
