Quote: Congratulations on the purchase again! I say you hold off on any changes and spend all your money on track time and tires/pads. No paint, no gears, no OD tranny. None of that will make it faster on the track.
And one day I'd love to run our cars together. Andy's car has always been the benchmark in my mind. Maybe at AutoXcuda's track day in Cali in a year or two? Or another event? Steve- how much track time should one expect at y'all's road course track day?
At Spring Fling Speed Festival we run from 8am to 5pm the Thursday before Spring Fling. There is a ton of track time and only two run groups. There's only about 30 cars and it's a big track. Here's some pics and info from this years past event: https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...part=1&vc=1
In the afternoon you can run in about any run group. So if you wish, you could run almost constant from 1pm to 5pm. You and/or the car will need more breaks than the track availability.
The red Valiant has run at Spring Fling Speed Festival before in 2007. Seriously fast. That is where a water pump belt slipped off resulting in a blown head gasket... IIRC, that situation directly log-rolled into the 427 motor build.
The red Valiant at SFSF 2007...
the Crossfire drove from Alberta Canada. The orange Challenger from Phoenix. The blue 68 Barracuda is now owned by Boydsdodge in Canada (he comes down most the time)...
