Hi good to know we have some racers in the area. Is your experience on the track? Have you done any road course racing. I'm anxious to go up to The Dragons Tail near Deal NC this Spring for some windy roads.

hi velo ; the roadster is a full race road course car . my son and i built the car in the early 80s after dragging it home a dealers back lot . had limited success racing till about 1991 . my son got tired of spending a lot of money with little results .
when VIR reopened in 2000 i had just retired and figured if i could race it it would be worth more to sell . after a lot of time and help of a lot of friends , and sam neave of LNA enterprises it is a good looking production car . and don't run bad also .
will i get my money back ? douthfull . have had two of the best drivers in the southeast to run the car . its been a good retirement project that has kept me busy . by the way , the car may be for rent this comming season .

Hi al. The car sounds like it's been a ton of fun. I'm not sure if you've posted any pictures of it, but it would be great to see in person. It's not far to Trinity, and on a warm day early spring, I'd like to take a look at it. Thanks for posting.
