This is Trixie, she's my baby. She is a barely street legal race car that is set up for SCCA E-Production. I rescued her from neglect in Tucson AZ 6 years ago. She looked nothing like this when I got her. She had a great chassis and body, shot motor and suspention. You could peel the paint off with your fingers. 3 and a half years later, I took her to her first HSR race at Sebring. Later that year we went to Rennsport Reunion III. Man that was a blast. There is nothing like beating the pants off a bunch of half million dollar cars with a relitivly stock 2.0L-4. (carbs & street cam). She didn't have the power but could spank them in the corners. On the engine stand is a 2.7L that will be ready to race NASAs GTS-2 next year.

Its been almost 20 years ago I held an IMSA licence. Damn I'm getting old. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pinch.gif)

I was a driving instuctor, did a lot of club racing, was team owner, worked for pro and amateur teams, pit crewed and built some of the finest cars and race trucks around. Lately I'm lucky if I can do an auto cross or get on the track a couple times a year. Hopefully that will change next year now that I have moved to the Charlotte area, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
