DTM racing (Yuma Az)... at least 3 cars at this weekends Goodguys Del Mar race course to give the competition serious worry material





Been a while since I've posted a early 70's Charger... good choice of rims, stripe, and wing



I think only RideTech showed up with more cars... I'm excited because it's a very low buck vs unlimted check book friendly competition. DTM... Dan The Man https://www.facebook.com/pages/DTM-Racing/305030966187707

Dan and his 68 Road Runner were picked for the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational, and after that, were here at the Del Mar Goodguys course, having a great time

 That is Dan at the left of the photo. Served in the US Marines, finished his enlistment and is now building race cars. That is cool!

To understand what it is to be invited into the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational... you need to know that the people who you race against include Bill Goldberg (host of Garage Mahal, and Bull Run, and formerly a wrestling star) and people with unlimited money to make their cars as close to full race cars as you can't find the difference. Dan was invited for his awesome 1968 Road Runner that is so good, and built by himself and friend Mike while he was in the Marines, at the Auto Hobby Shop at MCAS (Marine Corps Air Station) Miramar here in San Diego (formerly NAS Miramar where the TopGun training scholl for jet jocks was, and I was stationed at that base from 1995-1997 and spent a lot of time at that same Auto Hobby Shop working on my 1969 Dodge Super Bee) http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/03/mcas-miramar-auto-hobby-shop-has-this.html

Crongrats Dan! Lucky guy, he has sponsorship from Hotchkiss, along with being the first B-body Mopar to get a suspension prototyped on his Road Runner... and lots of magazine coverage http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/08/dan-is-getting-magazine-coverage-like.html

Dan has gotten a blog post on Hot Rod, due to his great car, hard driving, and luck with a wheel company that will be featuring his Road Runner in their booth at SEMA!
http://blogs.hotrod.com/sema-preview-track-driven-roadrunner-15295.html which has a well written run down of the features of the Road Runner, and what the new rims look like (damn nice!)
Good looking rims! Here they are on the RR, photo from that Hot Rod Blog post
