Hey FolkS,
I’ll be at Moparty next month, autocrossing my 1973 Scamp - this will be my first time at an autocross event and am fully prepared to be making a fool of myself.
Am looking for tips - am a year away from installing a Tremec 5-speed, so for 2024 it’s the 904 with the stock torque converter and a Quick Performance 3.50 rear end.
What tips can you offer for set-up, laying down a respectable time (do I leave it in 2nd or let auto do its thing etc.?). Any driving tips too, to get the best out of car, generally under its current set-up. The chassis is torsion bars set up with lots of goodies to the spec of abody chassis set-up warriors including @BergmanAutoCraft and @72bluNblu etc. Hoping I don’t need to do too much, as driving in and out of the event - touching wood and crossing everything!
Look forward to meeting a few of the folks from A Bodies too!!
Cheers, and best, Tom
