Nice! They gots a few of 'em on the rock already, boy.

Will be nice to see a twin pass the torture test. I hope they didn't weaken the frame rails with all that butchery removing the roll cage.

Definitely a plus if they have Pat Cyr involved. He should know the platform pretty well.

I'd consider donating me left nut to run the Targa

if I had the extra cash, a bigger garage and more time I'd love to gut and race prep one of those cars...a beaten up used one of course. I suspect many people will in the future.

Nicely done Guys!
Will be following your progress throughout the competition.

Any plans for Ontario 1500 next year?

daiheadjai · 08-13-2014, 06:52 PM

Unrelated, but is that the IS300 race car with a 3.2L bored engine or something like that?
