Very awesome.

Questions: Can't afford to race it....understand
Not street legal

So....what are you going to do with it...and with a partner?

Inquiring minds need to know

Lawdogg · 02-03-2004, 08:40 PM

Can't afford to race in World Challenge is what the seller said in his ebay ad. We probably can't afford to race World Challenge either, but there is plenty of other racing opportunities we can afford.

Redshift · 02-03-2004, 09:54 PM

Wow, you lucky bastiche. If you need to sell any of the used parts, I may want some

Congrats, Ron!

REDGAR · 02-04-2004, 06:54 AM

Good luck with it and enjoy

PowerPro01 · 02-04-2004, 08:24 AM

Maybe One Lap it? We'd like to have you along...

camshaft · 02-04-2004, 09:26 AM

Is the exhaust routed out the side of the car? Or is that big black mark something else?

Austin

Lawdogg · 02-04-2004, 02:57 PM

One Lap? Needs lights, another seat, etc. Maybe next year. Exhaust route? Haven't even seen the car in person yet.

Parts? How would you like a carbon fiber wide body?

Redshift · 02-04-2004, 02:59 PM

No wide body, but let me know if you need cash for any of the other stuff

If you are in my area to get the car, stop by and say hello! Dave lives 1-2 hours west of here.

dirtrider · 02-04-2004, 04:33 PM

Congratulations. That's an awesome car. I have a pic of that car on a calender that Grassroots Motorsports gave out. Have fun.

smook · 02-04-2004, 04:42 PM

I saw and watched the bidding on ebay.

Congrats.

What will you do with the car now?

You might want to tour the car thru some car shows...

Let us ALL know.

Best of luck with it!

Bill.

One of the companies I own might be interested in some kind of sponsorship with you for use of the car w/pics etc and car detail logos etc.

Send me a private PM if interested.

Cheers!

Mark Olson · 02-04-2004, 05:42 PM

It's nice to see it go to a good and loving home. A car with it's history is a steal at any price.

We plan to rebuild the car from the frame up and get it ready for some serious racing again. Let me know if that would work with your sponsorship plans (PM). Thanks.

One Lap: It's NOT a race, its an ADVENTURE!!

Hey, a full-fledged World Challenge car, through the Mohave... Now THAT'S an adventure!!

rpallas · 02-05-2004, 03:38 PM

Congrats Ron! That's incredible!!

Are you guys going to let John's '86 go or is this going to be an addition?

Are you going to run Road America with the Speedseekers group (spring, fall or both)? I don't see your name up on the sign up sheet. I don't know if I'm going to be there for the spring event or not.

I can't wait to see this car in action.

What series are you going to race it in? World Challenge? Or are you just going to run local races with it?

Congrats again! I'm very jealous.
