the car was raced as an IMSA GTO car prior to the log book issued in 1979. Photos of the car in 1973 at Daytona and 1977 at the Watkins Glen 6 Hour
have the same paint scheme as the car does in the 1979 logbook. The IMSA photos show the car being raced by "Alex Davidson" who resided in Upstate
New York. The 1979 logbook shows a"Peter Bus" as owner who resided in Connecticut on the New York State border.
Competition History
the last two years the car has run regulary in SCCA GT-1 class, regionals, and some national events. the car also has competed in Group 10 SVRA
at the Zippo at the Glen Vintage Event due to the cars Trans-Am history in the early eighties. The car finished second in GT-1 points for the
NARRC Series in 2000. While not competitive with the current field of Trans-Am cars running in GT-1, the car is reliable and finishes races.
The car turns a 1:01 at Lime Rock, a 1:12 at New Hampshire. the owner always finishes 3rd to 6th. At Lime Rock this Summer in a full field
of GT-1, 2, and 3 cars (18 GT-1 tube frame cars) the car ran a 6th in GT-1 and 8th overall out of 38 cars. The owner was congratulated by officials,
