  • Autocrossing my Javelin for the first time on Saturday in Portland, OR...

    I am autocrossing my 1973 AMC Javelin for the first time this Saturday (10/20). It's at Portland International Raceway in Portland, OR if anybody is near and wants to watch (free to watch). I'm an instructor and can give rides, too.

    I have been autocrossing for 5 years and won 3 Season Championships, but I've never done it in my AMC. I have autocrossed a P71 Crown Vic before, but the leaf-sprung Javelin will be a new one for me.

    It's on 285 Kuhmo V710 racing slicks, so I should have some grip. The motor is the original 360/4Bbl and it has a 727 TF, too bad the rear is a 2.87 open.

    Anyway, it should be a fun time. Figured I'd post in case any Bang Shifters were around PDX and wanted to hang out.

    I wish, but I've been out of town for 5 of the last 7 days and the MIL is coming in 12 days - so must make things all purdy and shiny (and lock the shop).
    Doing it all wrong since 1966

        You should come race at one next season Buick Guy! (And you, too, Bob. We can invade them with American V8's!)

          That sounds like fun!
          Hmmm what would be a good car for that? Sway barred Impala?
          Whatever I drive... Needs big entrance/exit.
