In Southern Ontario, Can., there are about 6 local Mopar shine&show-type
events. This year, most have gone with awards for best stock and best
modified
Dodge truck. The largest, Moparfest'99 (this coming Sun.), is partially
allowing
late-model trucks in for the first time. Prior to this year, they only
allowed
'85 and older mopars (the show draws about 700-800 cars each year). Someone
with a truck had to send in a picture and a description of his/her truck
before
receiving pre-registration ok.

C@C, this year, had a Dakota category in the fun field with participant voting
... won by an Ontario DMLer with a really nice V6.
