This car was very fast at the race last weekend. Kept up with the 911 cars.
But the gt3 cup cars were much faster.

I know that car. He runs at the hallett ocktoberfast club race. He is indeed fast. Usually runs towards the front.

I've know that car for 20 years. The ram air is a new addition.

The pca officials actually had a tape out checking the height of his wing. He was less than a quarter inch under the limit

Depends JT. Octoberfast is sometimes the same weekend as daytona, so we lose a lot of guys to that.

That top seems to have some extra rake to it. I think it looks great.

It's mike hemingway
we used to run DE together in the 1990's and then were club racing together in the late 90's.

the car is a great home built and not slow
Mike is a great great guy

its raked like all of the colorado PCA teeners are
an AJRS invention that started about 20 years ago.

I remember seeing that car in VW&Porsche magazine right after it was built. I think it was either pink or purple back then. Super cool car - very very neat that it still pops up - kind of an icon.

*edit*
you beat me to it!! I think I still have that magazine. I will see if I can dig it up.
