If we get a good response for this and I know up front how many will attend, I might be able to ressurect the all dakota race. They still have strictly Dakota show classes, at least they did last year for the show.


Who is going??????
I will be staying at the Comfort Suites. Book online, they will price gouge at the hotel itself.

So whats the deal for parking? Can we get a club spot? My truck wont win anything but itd be cool to all park together inside the show. I hate having to walk to or find my truck. Seen the cost of racing but what about for the show/spot? And how much for a room at holiday inn?

As far as parking, we have not had much of a showing the past couple of years with the dakotas, usually its myself and the same 3-4 others that show up. We used to get an entire row to ourselves but if i had a solid number of how many will attend im sure we can work something out. I race but pay for the show in order to park next to everyone. Show is 35.00 and includes entry for 2. Scratch holiday inn, i will be staying at Comfort Suites, if you wanna stay there you need to book online at comfort suites.com, the rates are 79.00 a night right now. If you call the hotel directly they will price gouge the fuck outta ya cause its a race weekend, damn criminals.

Whats nice is that ive already sourced buckets, eddy headers, drop spindles, 4in drop hangers and a 96 obd2 harness for it. Every bit of it came from a junkyrd. Even the truck, lol.

Im more worried about it looking good and getting exhaust done. I can do everything else myself. Im gona prep for paint myself then prolly have maaco paint it white. The suspension is easy. Looking into cam, springs, and m1 but I prolly wont do that till I get the obd2 swap done. I need some chrome rt wheels, if your buddy still has that truck talk him out of them for me. Lol

Hmm.. as always, I'm weather dependent. '64 isn't done and the Duster has no trailer. Looks like it'll be the beater truck. If I'm not there with it, I imagine my dad might just take it.

I'm in the same boat right now. Im trying to put it back together but can't seem to get out there for more then 20 minutes at a time. It's killing me. I'll keep everyone up to date but I'm still planning on it at this point.

Absolutely understandable. Sorry to hear that about your grandmother.


For anyone else considering going the current forecast looks great, clear and 70 so I'll cross my fingers. If it holds then I plan to be there.

Hey I might not be able to be there but I am sending a replacement. I have a buddy that has a black rt that will be going and I told him to catch-up with you. Name's joe and will have a stock cc with blacked out rt wheels. And he will be coming to nats with me. So if a big guy comes up and introduces himself. I told him to come find you. Hope it's a great turn out and I'm sorry I will miss it.

So what's it take to get a ride in the fast truck?

Jason,

Had a great time, even if I had to drink free Labatt Blue's that some guy bought for me as an insult, EH! :jerkit: :jester:


May 12th is Farmington, but the only thing is its an 1/8th mile. Let me know. :biggthumpup:

Sorry I didn't come over and chat more, I get distracted easily. Thanks for running over to say hi though Jason. Ended up in the pits with a buddy who was helping to diagnose a fuel pressure issue on that bright silver '73 Duster running 8.90s.

As for Farmington, I plan on being there. Last year we took both truck and Duster, this year probably either both or just Duster.

Went and had a great time. Talked to huskerrt79 a while, super nice guy and a bad ass truck. Hoping to get my 99 R/T down to Salisbury and start doing some performance mods (Truck is at the parents house in VA). Haven't had it out in a couple years but I'm missing it bad. Hopefully I'll be seeing ya'll out more soon. I will definately be at Farmington but not sure if I will have the truck.
