Hi folks, the video clip below shows competition in a street class last weekend. Three Mopars battled it out for the win. The 360 pick up won and my Charger was second. We were running around 11.50-11.70. The pick up and the Charger put a Hellcat to shame in that race. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5J8Yvk9VDAc&t=10sRagnar in Iceland

This is a full 1/4 mile track. It was built by a bunch of young men in 1978 who formed a voluntary car club to build it. It is still owned and operated by that club. It is located in a lava field outside the town of Hafnarfjörður in SW Iceland. Recently a circle track was added to the facilities and an off road 4x4 hill climbing area too so it is evolving into a motorsports park.

Thanks for your suggestion Cab. The Charger has a stock suspension with the original leafs (she came with the heavy duty trailer towing package), I clamped the front segment of the leaves and have adjustable Koni´s in the rear. My thought is that there were two possibilities for this side movement: To low pressure (18 psi) in the 20 year old drag radials and/or the rim was too narrow (7") for that 10" tire. I have corrected that for a race coming up this weekend. Ragnar in Iceland
