Description:

Originally built by Jim Thompson of Sunbelt Performance to compete in SCCA ITS, specifically the annual ARRC at Road Atlanta plus enduro events as his schedule permitted. It was a consistent top 3 finisher. From Jim, it passed through several owners. It was raced as an ITS car by the 2nd owner. The 3rd owner partly converted it to E Production and raced it in that class. The person I acquired it from kept it in EP trim but vintage raced it. I completed the conversion to vintage, preparing it to the old C Production specs. During the conversion process, I was able to locate and utilize a lot of the old Electramotive pieces. It is also currently SCCA GT2 legal. Logbooks for SCCA and HSR come with the car.
