Got a little PR from the good folks at Canton Racing Products. Should be in an upcoming issue of Grassroots Motorsports Magazine or SportCar magazine. Nice folks!

Congrats! You know I never even noticed your car pic on the cover. I guess I'm so used to seeing them that I expect them to be there.

Impressive! What a beautiful build...and it runs great, too!! I really like the red, black and aluminum combinations! I assume you're framing the magazine cover?

I'm off to Roebling Road (Savannah) next week to flog Little Kate around a 2 mile track. Plus there's an few autocross events coming up in the next few months that I'd like to run. Mine is a street car, but I've been wanting to see how it handles and performs on both the track and at an AutoX!

Updated photos because I'm bored waiting for 2019 autocross season to start.

SCCA National Tour Time Trials at Gingerman Raceway 7/17. Everything stayed on the car and the aero works fine.

Back on the track with a new tranny. Works well. Gotta fix some boost issues though.

Your car serves as great inspiration for all the builders here, get it done and enjoy using it over a long period of time! Exemplary project.

:cheers:
