After month of work and preparation, we finally got to run our Charger on a racetrack. We got up early friday March 31st and headed down to Portland International Raceway with the Charger in Randy Knighton's trailer. Gary Bockman, PIR driving instructor, Silver State Classic racer and friend of the late Chuck Shafer, took the car first out for a few laps.
Then it was my and Dick Pierson's turn. What a blast. This machine is all heavy but so much fun to drive. Forget about any sports or race car you have ever driven: scooting around a racetrack in a NASCAR stock car is like entering into another dimension! There is more to come, so stay online here at the Olympia Charger Weblog!
