I thought I seen your car in a few pix that were took at Thunderhill.  How'd you fair?

I owe a big thanks to Marty (MSRacing89) for helping me learn the ropes of one of these events. He showed me a bunch of tips and made it a great event. It was an awesome experience and I'll definitely be back to do more of these events.

For the first try...not too bad! I still got beat by everyone there    but had a blast doing it. The chargers were probably the biggest and heaviest cars there but it was a lot of fun throwing them around all day. And I learned a lot from having the instructors ride along and show me some tricks.  The car definitely can be pushed harder than I tried but it does need some more power. And the brakes were fantastic!    But I might upgrade them even further

Also got to meet Mike (v21hemicharger) and see his 69 Charger. It was cool sight to see all 3 chargers out there!

Thanks John! Here are some more photos back home after the event. I really liked the look with all the decals on the car but it's back to the normal street look now.

And the only damage from the whole trip was a broken headlight door emblem.

And a pic after a good wash to clean off all the bug guts.

So some future plans are to go with a new road race oil pan, oil cooler, oil breather setup, locking trans dip stick, bigger torsion bars, maybe some adjustable shocks, aluminum heads, and I REALLY need to get an overdrive for this transmission. The car is just too damn loud for long trips at 3,000+ RPMs for hours at a time!

Thanks John! Oh Yeah! I'm hooked now. I'm going to try to some more local events and improve my driving skills. I will definitely be at the next Optima event that is in California.

Thanks Beav! I don't know if I've got the talent...For everyone one thing I've done right, I've done about 20 things wrong.    I'm learning as I go.

Your car looks great on the track! Pretty rare to see three chargers anywhere let alone on the same track! Cool stuff!!

Cool!  It sounds like that track day is gonna end up costing $10k!

Awesome!  Glad you did it!   Once you do it, your hooked...

Heck of a lot more fun than waxing it in the garage, huh? Glad you are having so much fun.... watch out, it can get addicting. Very cool!
