WOO HOO!
The DML won the 1st place trophy for club participation at the 10th Annual
Houston Mopar Show and Race. That has got to be a first for the DML!
A big slice of pie to all those that participated, we will be planning and
looking forward to another great event next year.
Mike Clark picked up some money for his efforts in the truck class bracket
race on Saturday and Ron Merx did place in late model street truck. Bernd
missed the judging. Had he let the judges take a look at his truck, I am
sure he could have picked up a trophy too! I think we will see more of Bernd
at the race track in the future.
This year was not my year as I suffered a 2nd round loss to DML'er Jim
Vaught in his 99 CC DA R/T. We both were running the same dial, but when I
left the tree (.519) I suffered from the dreaded Dak wheel hop. That's all
it took, and Jim claimed the win light and sent me to the pits.
Sunday was even worse as I broke out of my dial in the first round. At least
I finally got to sit in the stands an watch the racing for a change!
We couldn't really organize a good group picture this year as the racing
schedule was pretty tight, but Mike Clark and Bernd did get some pics and I
am sure they will be posting them soon.
Buy of the event........Nitrous Works kit for a Dakota, $450 w/ a filled
10lb bottle. Jim bought one, and we attempted an installation Sat night at
my house, but we were pretty tired and had been enjoying some refreshments.
So we called it a night. If you are in San Antonio, beware of a DA CC R/T
with a Nitrous Express license plate frame!
Once again, thanks to all that attended...........even Roderick Vaughn drove
in from Louisiana, in a rent car for Sat, since his 4x4 Dak was in the body
shop. Now that is dedication! I hope too see even more of you at our next
TEXAS event!
And remember,"If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
