Yeah! I can dig, Jon! We could have three or more events, maybe one in
each region (east, central,west) in the spring and another in the Fall.
IT's also a good idea to Piggy-back a bigger event, especially a Mopar
Event. I think some of the MuscleCar Mopar guys would get a kick out of
70 or so Daks all in one area. We'll have to do a good share of planning
to make it work, but it's worth a try! =)... I'm all for it!
