Funny, someone else posted this as a comment on the video. I didn't know what it meant, thanks for the video. I happen to be at the same worker station as the van driver. He was talking there wasn't much market for parts for these, maybe just found the market.
Great development work and nice vid!

Reminds me of the time Renault was introducing the Le Car. They brought a bunch to Road America and let anyone with credentials drive one in an event. No liability, no cost, no power, no common sense. Several were wrecked.

Last weekend was my first outing to the Bristol National Tour. I've wanted to go, but July 4th weekend is usually a tough sell. This year I figured was worth it. Plus there was great competition in CAM-T class. On my drive up Colton, who let me jump into his car last minute at Nationals, said his car broke at the Pro Solo and asked if he could co-drive mine for the Tour. We've come full circle.
Well Saturday's course I quickly figured out the bumps and the surface. As I said I've never driven on Bristol's asphalt. My brakes felt great at initial application, but then the pedal went long as I stood on the brakes. It was like brake fade, but I know it couldn't be that. I think the ABS was doing something odd. It didn't inspire confidence, but I continued on. After the first day I was P4 with all different gen Camaros ahead of me.
Overnight there was a heavy thunderstorm. I went out around 1am to check on the canopy and stuff around our site. The amount of water running down the hill and through our site was unreal. I had just waterproofed the canopy and with trailers on 3 sides everything was pretty stable and dry. I parked uphill, mainly because it was one of the only spots left. Looking down by the creek it looked like there was water but it was dark and I couldn't tell the full extent. By morning light there was a lot of commotion as the creek water has been rising. There was about a foot of water in the low areas. People had tires and other belongings that floated away down the creek. We were lucky and had no damage. Lesson learned park uphill.
Not only was lower paddock flooded, a portion of the course was also flooded. They had to change the course slightly and reduced our runs from 3 to 2 to beat another incoming storm. If that wasn't enough of a challenge there was also a water patch flowing through the middle of the course that you had to cross twice. It was being fed from uphill and never dried even for the 5th heat in full sun.
I pushed a little too hard on my 2nd run through the wet patch. The car didn't turn and I hit a cone. I continued to push on the rest of the course cause you never know. There was a lot of spins, slides, and upsets. Overall, I stayed in P4 behind the Camaros.
After Bristol, I headed more west to Bowling Green, KY for Autocross Week. To Be Continued....
