new paint and body work due to an unfortunate event at the track. New look and performance always brings back the racing spirit.

FIA built this car as a shop for racing. On March 29th and 30th FIA will be heading down to Buttonwillow for Redline Time Attack. We have discussed about having a professional driver race for us but feel that its more meaningful to have Sammy drive the car. So for those of you who are heading down there that weekend be sure to stop by our tent. see you guys there!

That's actually Matz old Evo that Marshall bought and he rebuilt the whole thing in his driveway and had the cage installed, then FIA bought from him.

Here was Marshall's journal about it:

It's come a long way.

Once i bought it, i re did the cage, straightened the frame further, did weight reduction, etc, etc. Numerous set up's later the car finaly seems to be getting there, I will definetly try to make the 21st event, the new motor and turbo is getting a shake down this week, so i hope all goes well. I know people think it is crazy but some cars just have heart and this is one of them.

Can you say May I have a test ride Sammy when she's ready to track? Hopefully my car will be ready and I'll have something to compare it to!! 8)

Oh wow, that car has such a history. I changed a few bars and than went back to that one. The 9 turbo came out few weeks after the purchase along with the motor and tranny.
