Additional photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/1dDP7Xc63bDSdCPd9 Time has come to move on with retiring from racing after 20 years. I raced this car from 20013-18 for JCM Motorsports. We raced NASA Midwest and Great Lakes back then - taking multiple track records, podiums, series wins, and lots of free tires/brakes. I purchased the car in late 2021 and raced one SCCA Majors race in 2022 taking 3rd on both days. Sunday-funday, stewards started the race 10 mins early and I ended up last in field at the start of the race (40+ cars). Working my way back through the field to 7th overall and 3rd in class. Car is a hot knife in butter when you want to wheel it. I rebuilt the top end of the motor and inspected as I went in late 2022. Added the turbo intake cam for more lift and duration, new intake/TB, injectors - stretching the rev limiter to 8000 (can go higher but our of HQ/TQ - cam limited). Shifted the powerband up to gain reduced shifts on track. And now scares the hell out of Porsche club friends when you run under Mid Ohio T1 at 8000 rpm.
