That & the Challenger made it fun to watch

Was at another road-racing event this weekend & got a chance to see this:

Pilot said he drove it all the way from Detroit to Illinois, races it, then drives it back. New hero! 360 with a manual.

This was just a good look. Great set up. Even Mopar centercaps. Way to represent.

The Duster and yelllow Challenger look like they are at a track day or HSAX. The HSAX is a higher speed autocross concept done on a road course. Much easier to drive your car to those than for a wheel to wheel race.

I believe BBORR is a rally style timed event like Silver State Classic. Within the speed class you chose, the goal is to match your predicted/expected time as close as possible. Very challenging, but also gets a good number of cars that are driven to the event.

If you look (quickly!) to the left at 15:16 in that video, you'll see a course worker with a '64 Slant Six Valiant. Handsome devil, too!
