History

Owner fabricated and built to run at The Glenn and Limerock. I used the car for the last six years to run track time and learn how to drive competitively. The car could be tagged however impractical as the interior is stripped and the cage/chair are set up for competition.

Competition History

Turned Limerock with 58's with a 5.0L Rover.
