History

Car was originally built for the longest day of Nelson, it cometed in 2 of the 24hour races there. I purchased it and turned it into more of a sprint car for ITB. Raced in ITB for 4 years. Was a consistent top 5 finisher in the years of 30 car ITB fields. I than converted it to G production. SCCA eliminated G production and moved my car into H production. Since being in prioduction I have 32 wins, both regional and national, 5 regional championships and current Mid Ohio non run offs track record holder.
