It's real as far as I know, it's a dedicated track car in our area. Brant prolly knows for sure, I met the couple who race it once, nice people.
FYI they had studs, 2wd NEEDED studs that day, lots of blowing drifts on the lake.
I spun the ford and highsided it in a two foot drift, on my second run
Corner working sucked, 50mph wind gust at about 18 degrees, who knows what the wind chill was, but it was worth it.
Ferg.
