One Question to DML aside from Tony C and guys in California ! Mopar
National"s, Sprititzer Dodge Chrysler Challenge and Chrysler Classic '
Columbus ! also Carlisle , Grandbend , St Thomas Ont, Canada!

I' had the honour to be in the winners Circle with Ray B, Money,
Glory -Trophys, Good Looking Models ! thats Women for the Dino see my
Horsepower guys! The DML is the RAREST ANIMAL on the Drag Strips!

Wednesday Nite we ran Chev , Ford , Big Mopar and Whatever was conceived
FAST & FOOLISH, My point is that at American EVENTS Not My Country -
VISITOR! 50,000 People at Track & Show ! DMLERS are at home polishing paint
and telling the world that they have such beautiful Fast Trucks - Show It
instead of Myself 57 Years Old driving a 91 Dak 4x4 Moose Hunter Winter,
Summer 318 Pre Mag., Shuting down inep RT Drivers caught in some strange
glory OR self love, and also as I Said FORDS and Chev!

A 91 AND A 92 DAK should not be the Winners For 2 Countries when some guy's
pet their Trucks and SAY I' LOVE YOU BABY Your' SO FAST- GET REAL!

Success is hard work Jim Knox. Meet YOU On The Drag Strip and don"t
trip on your! G TECH PRO - REAL Means doing IT, and not playing with
yourself!

JIM :-)
