P a g e | 2 35 burgers and about 30 polish sausages. I counted 15 cars at the cook out. Thanks guys.

Speaking of successes, Dakota Engine Builders had their open house on Saturday June 7th. Wow what a great turn out. There had to be about 30 cars there. Jim, Randy and the gang was showing how cool the dyno worked all day. Pulled Pork and brats were also on the house. We all had a great time. I even had to break out my Laguna race car to show off. (There went 5 pound of nitrous). I hope we can do it again next year.

The Dakota Blacktop Tour is approaching fast. There is a complete article in this issue of the “RUMBLER”. If you haven’t signed up yet you better pretty quick. There are limited hotel rooms and they’re filling fast.

Our next meeting is at the Quality Inn on June 18th at 7:00. Hope to see you all there!
