1964 Dart Grüne Hölle Road Course/Track Day/AutoX Project
7/17/23:
Well I had made it to Carlisle All Chrysler Nationals and back.
Grüne Hölle Towed ~ 2000# of Trailer and Parts, with firewood and Camping stuff up and down many mountains on the way to Carlisle. I met some new folks and found time to Hike and have dinner with friends as well as Do some proper Mountain Flogging of the car whilst the trailer was detached. Good thing I brought the trailer as I Bought a 40" sign for the garage and I did not have to send it home with a friend.. I was able to take it home myself, as it fit in the ValianTrailer.
My pictures from the Chrysler all Chrysler Nationals 2023 can be found Here
Here is some documentation from my trip:
I Left home Thursday morning so that I could get to Carlisle and not take any interstates while towing. I had a Core 727 Transmission to Sell to A&A so the tongue weight was heavy for my little trailer.
I Stopped for lunch where the Elevation on US 22 was probably the highest, at least on my trip at ~2400 ft near the Allegheny Portage Historic Railroad site.
Then back on the road towards The valleys and Hills.
I forgot how much fun PA Route 994 is from Entrinken to Orbinsonia.. Too bad I had the trailer but it was a blast!
This picture is on PA 164 Which goes over that Green Hill in the horizon.
It is glorious when I encounter these Signs on the up or downside of the mountain, while driving this car.
After a few Hours, I got to Carlisle, dropped off my trans core, and Headed for the Campsite. Shesh.... Always 10° Hotter in the Cumberland valley with ~1000' elevtation drop compared to home near Pittsburgh.
Friday Morning Got into gate 3 before the crowds.. Got the car all cleaned up and ready for the show, then headed to the swap meet to find some stuff that I probably don't actually need, but it's a fun walk.
Friday Nite Decided to cool off with a trip back to the mountains.. Found a nice Hike..
I Chose the Challenging route because I am a dumb *** and thought.... this is cool.
2.1 Miles starting at ~800 ft Elevation and ending at ~1900 ft elevation.
Got to the top and it was all good.
Carlisle is somewhere out there~15 miles away under that cloud on the left.
The Carlisle show has a lot of stuff like this..
And giga tons of 2008-2023 Challengers too.
I took US Route 30 home this time, and when there's a big government sign telling me the elevation, I can't help but stop and take some pictures.
I put ~ 500 more miles on the car and it's mostly good to go. I want to relash the valves again and get it cleaned up for the PVGP countryside tour and some other PVGP Shows this week.
Then out to Ohio for another trailer hauling adventure.
