Just need the rear tires and we are going testing! 8 1/2 years in a barn, found, rebuilt and now back to life!!!!

Car is back in one piece. Had to miss the Crows Landing Tour but we made the Pro. Got a nice badge of honor on the side.

My BRZ is now home from the body shop with only minor paint imperfections, missing rocker guard texture on the underside of the right fender and a slightly different right mirror lens the only indications it was in a crash. Just need the inspection to clear in 2 and a half weeks and I’ll be on a restored title and back out in September! Can’t recommend the body shop I used, ACRS, enough for work that’s cheaper than a dealer, still looks good and one of the few places that’ll work with a salvage title. The crashed pic is before, and the other one is after.

Front page, SSCC Additional Information, 6th line - will move that to the video section later SV/Cochise is building a police car/driver instruction area. They say we can use that area but it is TBD

Looks fantastic! Glad it worked out and I hope to never need to use ACRS. But if the need comes up, I know who to call.

Update: Inspection is now passed. The car now has a restored title, registration with my same custom "BLUBAR2" plate number and insurance. Can't wait to get better with it since I've only done one event so far!

The last event worked out well. One video is posted on the web site's front page. I hope to get some more pics soon as well. Next event is July but we hope fire season will be over so we can run at home.

Looks like some wide slicks were fitted to it at one point. Sports Racer Renault used threaded street tires. Here is one Solo idea since it looks like a little heavy, but well-constructed chassis. It could run SCCA Solo B-Mod as a sports racer using wide Solo compound slicks and an upgraded motor. BM allows up to 3 L at 1275 lbs. (includes driver's weight). Bear in mind, no forced induction Since it was set up for a transverse FWD motor and transaxle, a modern high factory HP drivetrain might retrofit. Another possible use is for SCCA solo D-Mod since it might work out better for weight. The driving position would need to be offset a little to one side or the other of center. It currently has a pretty wide cockpit, so that might be practical. Driver's hips just need to be one side of the centerline. Then could run a fully built (300 HP?) 2L NA or up to 1438 cc turbo with restrictor (Chevy Cruze turbo motor for example) could in place of the Renault. 1400 lbs. min weight including driver. The current bodywork would have to modified or another fitted to look like some sort of recognizable production car that had a rear or mid-engine- like a Lotus Europa (Bodies can be bought from Banks) Karman Ghia, or Porsche 356 perhaps. Fiberglass Porsche 356 bodies are available from Beck. These are just ideas with no guarantee there wouldn't be a lot of work involved. One would have to measure the chassis for motor swaps to see just how much.

Thanks! I was intrigued by the Future tilt single axle trailer because it's 660 pounds and $8k for a tilt deck trailer... but I think I'll go opt for a dual axle instead. We'll be towing multiple 10+ hour tows a year so I'd rather not risk a blowout on a single axle. Primo might be the best bang for the buck in aluminum for us in AZ.

I bought a Primo about 2 years ago. I wanted a lightweight, aluminum trailer that can tow my Honda UTV, or CRX. I went with a single axle 12'. It's short but works well. I picked it up at the factory, they had just advertised some blems they were discounting, and they threw in alloy wheels, spare with another alloy. They were great to deal with. I had some Alum ramps already and had slides welded in under the trailer, for rear ramp storage. Put car tie down rings front and rear. Small one with trailer not to beefy. Weight is 675lbs, tow capacity is 2400lbs, 3500lb axle. Primo also makes tandem axle trailers of all sizes. Neat assembly facility. Trailer tows great and no issues with anything. Worth checking out. Normally have to go thru dealer, but you can see what these look like by stopping by facility. Maybe get lucky and find a deal.

You and Yuki Tsunoda are peas in a pod!

I blame the course designer for putting in all of those turns.......
