Vintage IROC Dodge Avenger Track Day with Ray Evernham: Legendary Driver List and Still Run Hard!
What happens here
Lift the car's hood to inspect the engine bay. Identify the Dodge engine, the rear-steer suspension linkage (where the linkage is behind the spindle), and the unique dual shock mounts, a common feature in early 80s race cars. Note that the firewall forward, including the chassis, remains largely unchanged from its 1984 design.
Goal: Examine the engine and suspension components for period-correct features.
