Also, tychoaussie, That is a great looking car! You designed it yourself? Who did the building exactly, because that looks like a marvellous piece of engineering!

No, I really did it myself! I bought the car in 1990, autocrossed it in SCCA F-stock for six summers, then started modifying in 1996. Each winter I did something different, from suspension to powertrain. Then in 2000 I put together a master plan for a 6-speed equipped, port fuel injected stroker & started stockpiling parts while at the same time pushing the 305 as hard as I could, wheedling a 14.00 @ 101 MPH out of it in 2002. I put in the roll bar and T56 6-speed transmission in 2003. Then in fall 2004 I disassembled the whole car and had it repainted over the winter while I assembled the engine. I raced it in '05, parked it in '06 to take care of a friend of ours, did a ton of suspension, axle, chassis, and exhaust work in 2007, did more racing in '08, just enjoyed it in 2009 , broke it in 2010, fixed it in 2011, but got busy and never finished putting it back together. That's something I might take care of over Christmas break.

I was also a member of the Society of Automotive Engineers from 1993 until 2012, and was a Formula SAE member & officer here at Michigan State in 1993, 1994, and 1995.
