I've been covering the One Lap Camaro thread and just wanted to give you guy a heads up that we'll also be running the event in my '68 Charger. We have no corporate sponsorship and are the running the One Lap to benefit the the Veterans Association and the 4-Polytrauma Centers located throughout the United States. These centers take care of Veterans who have suffered the most severe trauma and not only provide aid to the veterans but they help care for their families as well. The Charger has also been fully vinyl wrapped to help bring attention to the cause and it help it will fit the part - every branch of the Military is represented on the car so people understand that this benefits ALL the veterans.

Modification wise, the Charger is pretty tame compared to some cars on this board. We still run a torsion bar suspension set-up, a big ole' dirty 440 with iron heads with an 800DP carb. on top as well, GV Overdrive Unit, BAER Track System for brakes, shocks are off the shelf Edelbrock units that I got from Jegs. As far being competitive, well, that's yet to be seen. We've set-up a website at http://www.roadbackhome.com for donations, so please give it a look if you have the time. We'll also be posting daily video blogs over at http://www.ridelust.com. Most of all though we're looking to mixing it up next week on what should be one hell of a fun run.

Cheers and thanks -

Mike

And the fact that you still run torsion bar suspension is really great! You were one of the most consistent autocross performers in the first televised Bullrun.
