Nor Cal Track Night in the 340 Dart - 05/09/17 04:57 AM
I did an SCCA Track Night event last Friday at Thunderhill. My car is a 70 Dart Swinger 340,727,3:23sg 17x8. Here is the link to a quick video if anyone is interested.

Looks like fun while the tires are reaching their limit of adhesion.

Awsome. Glad you made it. I'll check out the video tonight.
There's a Tracknite at NJMP today but not going to make it. Autox on Sat right in town and won't make that either.

Where is that track?
I was under the impression that Sears point, Infineon, was the only sport car track in northern and central ,CA

Sears Point in Sonoma, Thunderhill in Willows, and Laguna Seca in Monterey.

Very cool, looks like a good and fast track - thanks for sharing - a couple questions for you...
- The rapid knocking sound in hard left corners (listen at the 1:14, 2:24, and 3:15 marks, the last turn before the straight) - what is that coming from?
- What rims are you using?
Cheers,
- Art

My rear sway links are too close to my mufflers, so in hard corners, they bump into each other. No real prob, but a bit annoying (lower on the list of things to do).Thanks for watching and commenting. I will be at the track next weekend again, this time for an SCCA Autocross event. Should be fun, and I'll try to get some on board video from that. Cheers!

You can ditch the rear links for heims, way more compact and work better to.
