History

The car was purchased new in March 1971 and immediately prep'd and raced in SOLO 1. From 1972 to 75 it ran in Quebec's CASC B Production with xflow 1600. During the winter of 75/76 it was rebuilt to GT2 specifications with a Lotus Twin Cam. In this configuration it won three Quebec GT2 Championships in the 80's. A highlite was starting from the pole at the 1982 Montreal F1 support race.Performance Data
