I didn't know a Dodge Dart raced in the Trans Am Series

[TruckDriver]

Cool Stuff! 

"This car competed in seven Trans Am races. Ron Grable was the only factory sponsored Dodge driver in 1967."

Cool link.  Don't forget about Bob Tullius in the 1966 Trans Am using a 66 Dart.

[RallyeMike]

Thanks. I had no idea.

[Ghoste]

Yeah everything else gets pretty overshadowed by the Boss Mustangs and Z28 Camaros.  There was a real variety of cars racing the Trans Am back in the beginning.

The Dart was at Road America this past July.

No trip to Road America is complete without at least a bratwurst or two.  This was taken on Friday.

Very cool photos of vintage racing series... Thanks for the link

Do you by chance have any bigger pics of the car? Or some pics of the front fenders up close? Cause I'm trying to replicate it on one of my games, but I can't make out some of the decals and who they are for.

That is pretty cool!  I didn't know that.

A 304 motor. Someone educate us on the 304?!?!

305 was the cubic inch limit for the class at the time.  For 1970 the rules allowed Chrysler to destroke the 340 to meet the size but prior to that I don't think it was allowed.  That is why the Boss Mustang and Z28 both had their high strung 302's.

Prior to that, I think they ran 273's.

Yes and it was hard pressed to run against the factory 302's of Ford and GM.  It was okay in the beginning when SCCA meant it to be a weekend warrior series but once the factories were involved it was game over for Mopar drivers.  Good thing GM wasn't participating in racing and they just coincidentally had that high revving race smallblock available in the Camaro at just under the legal size limit.  At least Ford openly admitted they were going for that crown.

Looks like you left a little behind! 

[Oldtimer]

Not sure I'd be smiling!

Still find the '68 Grille on the '67 a little weird....

Scott Welcome to the Dodge Charger.com Forum, cool old cars in a cool old series thanks for the link...

[Budnicks]

A little off subject somewhat, but I found a couple of photos in a couple of links, you guys may like of a couple of Mopars, SCCA, Trans AM & vintage racing cars....

[Budnicks]

Here's a few more sorry not all Mopars, some brand X, but interesting for sure....

That Olympia car seems familiar somehow. I know it's been talked about on these very forums, Im sure of it.

Yes but I mean I believe someone on these forums was involved in the making of that car.

[Ghoste]

It has, there used to be a long running thread on its exploits.

[HalfastJav]

I never knew.......



that AMC ruled...........

[Ghoste]

It could be argued that it happened because the other players had taken their big budgets and left but I think Donahue would have found a way even if they were still around.
