Hi,
I recently bought this car and am trying to research its race history. It was built for Rick Fairbanks by Protech Motorsport in Greenville, and raced regularly from 1987 through to 2009. Unfortunately the logs books have been lost :-(
I would be grateful for any thoughts, memories or photos.

Cheers,
Tony.
