Yes the right rear tire is off the ground, about a half inch. I have a BIG poster the photog gave me for helping him, as a car spotter while he was on course taking pictures, later in the weekend.

Jim - DemonDuster -- T/Anks a million for posting those pics from Monster Mopar Wknd/Lucas Raceway/Indy... ALL MOPAR AUTOCROSS... Sept 2012... that event was the BEST MOPAR EVENT I EVER ATTENDED... the autocross was great with good speed (avg ~50mph).. unlimited runs and EVERYONE WHO ENTERED HAD A GREAT TIME! Hope we can do it again... LUCAS's track is very good and we'd ultimately hope to have actual "competition" runs for awards, classes, etc. WE CAN DO IT JUST AS WELL AS THE DRAG RACE CLASSES AND WITH MORE ENTHUSIASM! Hello Josh King.. are you listening?

The AMX 2-seater cars are awesome and with tons of potential... they are frequent race winners... light weight, short wheel base... many secret and easy tricks can be done to them to out-perform most other pony cars... plus, not everyone has one (like a GM or Ford)... they stand out as more unique cars... always an eye-grabber!
Heres a pic of one of my hi-speed road course autocrosser friends with his 79 Hornet AMX... he's extremely fast and rarely ever loses any races (maybe only against an older Corvette within his class)... very highly modified to the limit of the MCSCC.org "B/M" class rules... he runs on 16" Hoosier A6 radials... plus he's a very aggressive driver.... (his dry-sump and hi-perf built 401 V8 helps a lot, too!... car weighs ~2900 pounds)

Those Hornets are hot little cars also. I wish I could install a dry sump. The stock oiling system keeps losing oil pressure on-course, doesn't matter if I'm going straight or around a corner, it'll lose it when it wants to, even tho it has duel pickups, and road race pan with a 9 qt capacity. I probably should replace the bearings, again.

Since you asked, I looked to see if there was some old ones still on-line to link to. I found more than I remembered (dialup limited stuff back then).   Cal Ripken Stadium, Aberdeen Md. Phila Region SCCA 2006 event 3 more pics at TeamWTF Old Pictures Thanks to Alex for taking all those pics, and Rob (now of Robs Rod Shop) for lending me the seat while mine mine was being redone. Nothing like a vynil covered bench to autocross on! Hey, better than nothing.

Milodon just recently in the last two years made a road race pan for AMC's. Or maybe redesigned one. They have provision for external oil pump, IIRC.

Do you know if it's an external or internal pick up? Mine is external pick up.
