Hi all,

I had my first track experience this weekend at Thunderhill (Willows, CA) with the Hooked on Driving group. I'll say I've never had so much fun in my life. I am now hooked on track driving and have a desire for more. I may just pick up track racing as more than just a hobby.

Whomever said Challengers can't corner well needs to have their reality checked. I think they handle corners very well.

nice! did you ever get a chance to run the drag strip with that hopnot kit yet? and how much did that help you in the road course? i know it eliminates body roll a good bit...just like hearing more hopnot positives as i'm just about ready to pull the trigger now cause spring is getting close and i gotta hit the strip up to redeem myself

about people saying that it doesnt handle...its the trendy thing to say about the big gal...what they dont every say is how well it handles for its size. sure a smaller lighter car will rule in the twisties...but a big muscle car that can handle as well as it does is remarkable!

Thunderhill is a great track. Long and fast. What about that Cyclone!

Sorry, no drag strip. But I'll say I got a lot of compliments from the racing coach on how well the girl didn't wobble and how tight she gripped the ground. I think he had just as much fun as I did and he was the passenger. I have to say the combo of the kit, the mopar sway and strut bars all kept her in very close contact with the ground. I had more traction around the curves than 911s, 944s, V8 Vantages, and Ferrari Californias ...

Rose City: What is the cyclone?

The turn 5 corkscrew.

Didn't know that's what it was called. Turn 5 is the blind turn, yeah, that's awesome. My second favorite turn. Turn two was my favorite.

I love seeing these babies fly through the turns. Especially lukester's videos.
