A customer of mine bought this car

The story:

His trailer was stolen, the car was pushed out and abandoned. They vandalized the car with brake fluid, pouring it everywhere (mostly the passenger floorboard) They stole the seat/seat belts/steering wheel out of the car.

I picked it up, cleaned it up the best we could to see what we had. Power washed everything.. did a nut/bolt on it. Checked alignment, threw a seat/seat belts/steering wheel in it. Checked tire pressures and had the new owner ripping off decent lap times for a newb at WSIR on 4 year old non shaved 888's (we haven't ran those in the class for years)

We got an "ok" deal

We paid a lot less than what he wanted. The car is WAY behind my other spec cars, but we will bring it up to speed as we see fit. Right now, it's lap times tell me to leave it alone and throw the new RR's on it!!

I'll be it CA. Speedway Jan. 11th testing 4 cars (Tarett GT4 Boxster and 3 spec cars) I'll let you know how it does on the roval
