Description:


This car took 2nd in the NARRC championship this season as well as several respectable finishes (two 3rds and a 2nd) in the Cooper Tires Gold Cup series. The car has penske triples with updated valving done by stimola. So far 2 corners have the updated (99 spec that are stonger and of aerotube) pushrods, gun drilled axles (recently replaced), and AIM mapping data system, a crapload of wheels. I also have a spare diffuser i think some front wings, a complete rear wing upper/lower, spare track rods, a rear beam and a bunch of other spare odds and ends, as well as some spare fiberglass nose parts, I think i might have some spare nose boxxes hidden in the garage too, and perhaps spares wings. The engine was done last winter by Curtis Farley and made good power,146.3 HP at 6500rpm. Trannywise as expected it has an ld200 and some spare gears. Oh it also has an aluminum floorpan and fresh belts that went in last winter.
