That looks pretty radical...I love it

That should keep people guessing.  Looks pretty good from here.

Very nice, too bad it will get banged up. It wasn't going back on the street anyway though.

I may have had a few "custom" parts whittled out in this one. ....
The older guy 3rd from the left is the one building the Javelin circle track car now. Very talented fabricator!

Great stuff, Scott Harvey. 1.06 t-bars.

Milwaukee Mile.... kit car program

I'll be sure to try that setup when I run the Mile.  Drive there should be interesting with the car trying to turn left the whole way.

Brad -- T/Anks for posting the Darrel Padberg autocross videos.  I've known him since the late 70s and raced with him all through the late 70s-80-90s-early 2000s.  I'm certain I raced at some of those same track events that are in the videos (I'm probably in the backgrounds at those same events, or maybe working some of the corners, taking pictures, etc)... many at Milwaukee County Stadium (aka Brewers Field), Portage Indiana Street Gran Prix, other locations.  Darrel has been known as having the "fastest hands in autocrossing".  He always emphasized to set up the car as stiffly as possibly (next to zero lean/lift/dive) with biggest springs/torsion bars, then use the sway bars as a tuning device... its worked very well for my car and proven the best way way to setup for autocross competition.  He progressed from his 71 AMX, to his 70 short wheelbase AMX, then later with the low-cost Ford Mustangs in F/Stock, then C/Prepared.   He ultimately departed form the AMC cars because of the rarity and difficulty to find replacement parts (engine parts, suspension, etc), and the attractiveness of the ultra low-cost Ford Mustang ... he has always been a top SCCA Solo II national competitor...  In fact, while I was developing my T/A, aiming for the SCCA class E/Street Prepared (also being a highly competitive and very popular national class), with the AMC and Mopars having the same rim bolt pattern, we bought some multiple same sets of Centerline "X-series" 16x10 lightweight racing rims (I still have mine).

Also, fellow SCCA autocrosser John Sandberg, with his C/Prepared AAR 'Cuda, was very actively racing against Darrel's AMX during those same years (mid/late-70s, 80s, 90s, early 2000s.   Those were some of the best hey-day years of the rapidly growing popular SCCA SOLO II autocrossing racing throughout North America.
