President's Message
June 2013

As I write this, I am steadily preparing for the great Devils Run experience. Stan and Sharon do a lot of work to make that event come off almost to ‘perfection’. Let’s hope the weather holds out as it has in the past. Then it’s off to the Clastiques Rod Run in Bismarck along with Buggies-N-Blues. Always a nice time for all of us who like to get out of town for a rod run or two!

I wanted to thank Dave Smith and Dave Alberts for lining up the Wednesday evening cruises for the summer. Most of them, but certainly not all of the cruises, are advertised as “pot luck” events. The club provides the hamburgers, hot dogs, sodas and all the condiments while M & H Gas station provides all of the buns. WOW, that’s huge, but the folks that actually bring a pot luck dish or item make the food more enjoyable for the evening. Sometimes it is easy to ignore the pot luck part of the event by just coming, but please keep in mind that it is always nice to see what other ‘goodies’ most of you have the capability of making and/or bringing to the events. (And I’ll admit, sometimes I don’t bring either, but that is going to change!)

Safety: I always try to keep safety in the forefront of the agenda of the cruising part of this club. I like to always say “Be Safe” when I leave you all, but I don’t always get it out. Be Safe---think about that...how many times did we get a cut or break, or other ‘bodily damage’ because we either got in a hurry or just plain weren’t thinking. How many times do you look back and say: “That was dumb—AND I knew better, but didn’t figure THAT was going to happen! Anyway, keep things like that in mind and, Yes---Be Safe.

Summer is going to be great with cruises, Rod Runs, the Super Run, car shows in small hometowns, and everything else. Our cruising season is short here and this summer I assume it will even be a bit shorter. Get out and have fun. Drive those cars and just enjoy the hobby. It’s always nice to see old friends, but do not hesitate to walk up to someone whom you never have seen at our events, and shake their hand...make them feel welcome. That’s what makes the Dakota Cruisers special---we’re all friendly and outgoing!

So, as we draw closer to Cruising and getting together more often, let’s all look forward to a great year. The Season Finale in September is going to be one of the best. The Board is in charge this year. Now, being in charge does not mean they are going to do it all, just means they will take charge of gathering some new folks, some old experience, and make the weekend in September another true “Season Finale”...
