On Sunday July 6, Bob Tom and myself had a fun day at WOMO 19th Annual
Mopar Days, Grand Bend Ontario Canada.
Bob ran in Sportsman Class (street class) 14.00 & UP
I (Jim Knox) ran Truck Eliminator Class ANY DIAL
Weather conditions: Absolute barometric was 28.4, Temps 79 to 84 F,
humidity 53 to 48%, winds lite every direction, sunny no clouds.
The Dakotas that I ran against were all RT,s. My truck is a 91 Dakota Sport
Package 4x4, 318 premag originally purchased for Moose Hunting, but this
truck has made the drag strips its home.
I ran against 3 RT's with interesting times.

reasonable reaction times we were lucky enough to bring home the Wharncliffe
