That thing sounds awesome. What type of frame is that for your motor?

It's a Road race or Road Coarse if you will. It's called Arctic Circle Raceway. If you search for 'Cuda ACR' on YouTube you'll find some videos of me driving there many years ago, before I put on the XV stuff.

Looks like a great track! Lots of fun!
I looked at your video's, cool stuff! Did you loose a motor/tranny? in one of those video's? Lots of smoke?

Sounds Healthy and strong. Cannot beat the prowling look of Cudas and Challengers.  8)

No, the motor held up, It was an oil leak on the motor.. never found the source.. until this winter when I acid dipped the block and painted it.. found a crack in the block at the oilpressure sender. Fixed it with some hcemical metal. That did the trick. :) That was actually the last time I drove up there..

Man, just love the way your car looks, the way it's set up.  Love the road race look.

Is that a factory color?  I like certain shades of green and yours is one of them.
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.
