Old Business:

1) The show at Reliable Chevrolet in March was a great success. Fifty to seventy-five cars were in attendance. Hot dogs and drinks had to be replenished more than once. The management at Reliable was very happy with the results.

2) The April drag racing event at Texas Motorplex in Ennis was fun. Although there was some rain, it cleared off and members were able to run. Sonny Poteet was the most successful. The Muscle Car Challenge continues, there will be a Test and Tune at Denton Raceway on Friday 17 June, followed by a points race on Sunday 26 June.

3) The May cruise to the Dr Pepper plant in Dublin was great fun. We had awesome weather and 9 cars participated.

4) Dean Schmidt talked about the Lone Star event in Victoria. DACC will be hosting the 2006 Lone Star. Dean said it was a great event and people will be happy to come to Dallas for the 2006 event. In the 23 years of the Lone Star Conventions DACC has never hosted it.

5) Dean gave the Treasurer’s report. The club account has a balance of $3518. We have no outstanding bills and our largest expense is publishing the monthly newsletter. We currently have 88 registered members. The treasurer’s report is available on the internet by contacting Dean.
