Hi everyone,
I know there were some guys on here who were racing Dodge Dakotas on dirt and I'm looking for a little information. We wouldn't be running the Dakota body, just using the frame and suspension and putting a car body on it. I'm just wondering, what are the benefits of running a Dakota? I have read before that the rack and pinion steering was a benefit, but our rules actually don't allow rack and pinion so that wouldn't help. Our current car is an early 70s B-body, so it is obviously torsion bars and the Dakota would allow coil springs in the front. How much difference would that make? If anybody has any information on some of these questions or general information about racing the Dakotas, it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
