Race in/on dirt--of course!!
Marilynn and I have raced her 65 Monza at a couple of local SCCA
Rallycrosses held at an old copper mining tailings dump site--essentially a
huge sandbox. The Corvair had great traction but could have used more
power. Ground clearance was also a problem toward the end after the 4X4
trucks made deep ruts. We did better (3rd overall) another time with our
01 Dodge Ram 2500 (Cummins/6-speed) for a December outing--half sand, half
snow. Ground clearance, flotation tires and gobs of torque were the order
of the day...
