Resurrecting the Rambler

Very cool! Not sure I would even have thought of racing a Geo!

In 2010 I dislocated my left shoulder a month or so before the King of the Track race at that same venue, which by then was Speedworld. I couldn't drive my Camaro but I could drive my Ranger, as it would shift itself, leaving my right arm free to steer. So I wound up with a mid-15 second dial-in and matched up against Mike Zimmerman's 8-second Mustang. He passed me at the stripe going 65 MPH faster than me, his 150 MPH to my 85. There was a very pronounced side sway from the little Ranger as he went by also!

And yeah, he won that race, though at least it was moderately close.
