Do you think badgering Dan to get his website up and running would be good, or bad?

this ought to be a familiar car to you long time readers, Dan went from a 68 383 Road Runner to a Optima Street Car Invitational contestant.

He has his own shop, and what does he do there? Add content to Facebook. I'm against that fundamentally.

Is he building race cars? Upgrading 1960's Mopars to perform like his Pro-Touring Road Runner? Making engine coffee tables?

So, if you kindly want to help Dan decide to get his website http://www.dtmracing.us/ filled in for our information and enjoyment, email him dan@dtmracing.us 

If you prefer the Facebook method, http://www.facebook.com/pages/DTM-Racing/305030966187707?fref=ts
