- Background & Plans
- I got this car from my father when he had to quite driving. I commuted with it for about a year while working on my Jeep. I was invited to attend a track club HPDE event at VIR and got hooked! I had already bought some parts leaning towards my drag racing background but decided HPDE was a much better use of this car. I plan to install racing seats and a rear cage in the car. I mostly need seat time to work on the driver mod.
