History

Early history is undocumented but is reported to have been raced out of Florida prior to being owned and raced by Larry Bianchi out of San Luis Obisbo 1982-3 including 1982 run-offs at Road Atlanta. Then purchased and upgraded in '83 by Kim Landry of San Diego who raced it in SCCA regional at Holtville in '84. Then it was in storage until Chuck Graham bought it in '88 and tried restoring it for vintage racing. We rescued it in '95. Husband built it with the potential to run near or at the front in VARA EP class. Wife "Racing Grandma" raced this car with VARA progressing with time from mid pack to near the front. In recent years fininshing regularly in the top 5 cars and with one first place win (wahoo!)

Competition History

Entered 26 races with VARA, one first place win. Numerous top 5 finishes.
