Pics of my 85 GLHT in and around turns 3-4-5 are at pages 15, 17 and 19.

John Spiva suggested that a Lebaron or Daytona 1 1/4" sway bar (up from stock 1") would cure my oversteering - he was right. Car handled really well but it was slow - Contamination took out turbo bearings. Trailer.:mad:

Lots of other fast Mopars though.:)

Nice pics John! Looks like it was fun :nod:

John, I wish the 3rd could have worked for me, :o I wanted to drag something out there... I still can't believe I haven't seen the Omni in the flesh in like 2+years, are you hiding it from us?;) One of these days you will bring it to the meet right??? Update on your L body with 8 'extra' valves:eyebrows: ??? I am ready to help you some with that one:evil:

I may be AMC illiterate but I didn't realize they made an extended 'wagon' Pacer:D Pretty cool in a red headed stepchild sort of way. Was it at all quick around the track?

Thanks Gary -

Yes, it was fun, while it lasted. Spooky memories though. Last time I went to Willow Springs, I left in an ambulance. I was leading a motorcycle race - 350 production - 2nd place overshot entry into 3, ran into my rear wheel. End of my day. For about 2 hours I was a paraplegic.

Only "some" help? "Some," that's a weaslely lawyer word:lol: ;)
Goes on transporter 5/18. So, you should be able to see it on 1st Thursday of June.

I know Chrysler WAS a German company until last week but since when does a Porsche qualify as a Mopar? (page 17 bottom left corner)

Maybe a 2.2 transplant? :D

Looks good John. Glad to hear you got back to the Springs after all this time. Time for an article for SDAC (wink wink, nudge nudge) ;)

That's a good idea, maybe next time, what's involved?

Nothing fancy, you write an article, possibly take a couple pictures and send everything to Barry or myself. Most often an article (or series of articles) will get you an extension on your membership, we call them bounties.
