History
Purchased chassis from Bob Hill in 2001 and began building as a race car to compete with local vintage racing clubs. Since build, I had raced a couple of weekends a year in 2003 and 2004. Have been midpack to front-pack runner, but I generally take it easy compared to the front-running drivers. The car has been at home in the shop since 2004 simply due to competing priorities.
Recent Competition History
Historically a mid-pack runner with me driving. Car certainly was built with the potential to lead with a competitive driver.
