All I am saying is that if I organized a national Dakota meet and R/T owners
were not invited, I would hear a lot of complaining from R/T owners and I
would be accused of being an elitist. I would NEVER think of doing such a
thing! As a matter of fact, go to my page and click on the Milan Meet
button, take a look at all of those R/T's mixed in with Sports, SLT's, and
even a few 4x4's made it to the meet and were encouraged to show up. I was
even happy to see non-Dakota owners there such as my friend's Javelin as
well as a few Rams! The way I look at it, the more Dakota lovers, the
better!
And no, I can't understand sepratism. I have never and will never attend a
LRT meet even if I did own one, who wants to only look at one trim package,
that would be boring. I would much rather attend a MOPAR meet! I would
prefer diversity rather than seperatism. Your meet could have stayed an R/T
meet, but I don't ever remember being invited to enjoy your R/T's from the
sidelines, we were totaly excluded. You did not have to invite us to race or
show, but we would have liked to be there at Milan watching R/T's make runs
or take in the show.
I am all for the Truckin Nationals, I think it would be a good opportunity
to place the Lightnings and Chevies in their place. I think we should arrive
as a DAKOTA swarm and scare the #$%@ out of them!
