1964 Dart Grüne Hölle Road Course/Track Day/AutoX Project
7/19/21: More Güne Hölle fun in the summer.
Last week, I took the car to Carlisle - Met with some friends, did some Mountain Road driving, Did the Carlisle Real Street Shootout Friday nite, then Went to the Central PA Region of the SCCA for a Proper AutoX at Midstate Airport in Phillipsburg Pa.. It's essentially a nice wide 2 runway airstrip with plenty of taxi areas in the middle of a central PA Lush Forest.
Some Pictures:
While staying overnite at my friend's house I had access to corner scales... So Lets do some science and data..
Started out with Just above 3000# without Driver and Gear - 3/4 Tank Gas.
Made Adjustments to bars and rear coilovers.. Was able to get pretty close to 50-50 F/R but L/R was Right Heavy.
Final after Adjustments with Driver and Gear:
At Carlisle there were some like minded slant 6 handling fans... This is Chris' '70 Duster..
Some other odd, instersting Mopars..
Aussie Valiant Ambulance:
And a pair of Modded - '62 Valiants:
The AutoX at Carlisle was not terribly interesting, but it was fun.
I have some oversteer to now work on ... the Car ran well, except idling in the hot - I need to change out the mechanical 4 blade fan for some electric units.
