I'm sorry you feel insulted. Yes, some of us R/T owners show up at
Dakota meets, because we own a Dakota. You're not invited to R/T
meets because you don't own an R/T. It's a result of the Dakota being
a more general category of vehicle than the Dakota R/T. There is no
intent of insulting anyone, it's just the way it is. If some other
specific Dakota group wanted to have a meet that I wasn't invited to
because I didn't own that type of Dakota, I wouldn't be insulted, I
would understand it's because I don't own that vehicle.

Every group will have those kind of people. If they were really
acting like that, then they were a--holes, most R/T owners are not
like that.

But then it wouldn't have been an R/T meet. Think of it this way.
How much better would a Dakota meet be if it were a Dodge meet instead
so it could have a lot more vehicles? There's more to a meet than
just sheer numbers. BTW, you could have come to the track and
watched. You could have also come to the truck show at the Chrysler
Museum and looked at the trucks and mingled with us R/T owners and
discussed Dakota stuff, it was open to the public.
