I believe the manufacturer of that particular trailer made a promotional offer
to the female owner of that IB Dak (how it came about, I have no idea ...
probably similar to the promoted SC Dak who took first place).
Anyways, the offer was if the IB Dak placed, then she got use of the trailer
for a year.

Yep. A Dak that parked next to me last year at ACN shows his truck
from Canada to the south along the eastern part of the U.S. In this case,
it's a family thing ... done it for decades, starting with their older
mopar cars.

Well, one out three isn't bad :-) I took my running boards off for other
reasons.
If I had my way, I'd race just with driver's seat, safety belt, engine and
the frame :-8
