Here are my issues....I purchased my Dakota new in '92 to drag race...they made them legal for stock shortly after so I planned to eventually to make it "class legal"....time and money and a divorce got away from me but I kept racing it and slowly modifying it.....I have called Glendora several times over the years to check legal mods based on Dakota stockers I have taken pictures of over the years....between shock mounting to rear axle assemblies to several other items I don't believe at this point there is one Dakota in stock that according to what I am told is legal by definition, yet they pass tech....Glendora a couple times had to call the field techs to find out how they were policing a couple things and get back to me and tell me NO, I can't do that.....all I want to do is get out and run some divisional and nationals and the last thing I want is to get bounced from tech....there seems to be a sort of " good ole boys " club and if you aren't one of them there is a different set of rules for you, the magnifying glasses come out and you have to bend over and grab your ankles....
