Fantastic time with Brian and Susan Mimken and the BRR crew yesterday. Wating for times to post, but as I recall Brian went about 45.6 sec best run in the 2023 Challenger 345 w/6spd. I went 45.1 sec on 2-3 runs after a soft first run at 48 sec. More in it, but I kept goofing a little here and there. Still, not bad for what Brian and I were driving, and there were plenty of subarus and some miatas in the mid 40 sec time range. Fastest cars were in the low 40s and a very few in the high 30s. Susan got to ride a few runs with Brian and 2 runs with me. She verified that I had no oil pressure drop on the hard downhill right handers on the course. Yay baffles!

The Valiant was easy to drive through the autoX course and was nice over the road. Autoxers loved it. 3200 RPM at 75 MPH and not too loud. One bummer is that I blew another QuadSpark channel and had to drive home without cylinders 2 and 5. I need to figure this out... I also need to weigh the car with the alum engine and GV OD.

Thanks for chiming in, Greg, Dennis, and Andrew. More fun to come...

Happy Slant Sixing!
Lou

Got the dipstick to work and played with a few other things this weekend and early this morn. Man, 8.75" qts came out, not including the filter. Hey, no leaks and it ran fine! Found the spare Quadspark so will install that soon, and I ordered another spare...

~2.25 Gallons of oil should keep it happy on the corners. :shock:

Would be interesting to see if it's getting any crank whipping/foaming due to excess oil volume? Probably not, but sometimes I wander - wonder.

I'm sure there was crank whipping, but nothing I could smell/see/hear. Should have checked oil when got home, but forgot. Looked normal coming out.
