Description This is a complete package of everything you need to go Sports 2000 racing: a highly developed car and an extensive spares package, including many new parts. Always professionally maintained. Upgraded for extra safety, it has had extensive maintenance and updating for 1998 by Comprent Motor Sports of Athens, GA, a Sports 2 specialist. It has a new motor done in '98 by Loyning with only 5 races on it. This eye-catching race car just earned the SARRC Championship for 1998 in the Southeast Division, and was the 1995 EMRA Champion in the Northeast. It was raced only twice in '96 and three times in '97. No expense was spared in '98 to bring this Lola to the front.
