One of my 510 buddies spotted this thing at an autocross last weekend. His email said:
160 HP Hayabusa powered, custom tube frame chassis, full carbon fiber one piece body. 1100lbs. Never been on a track before. Today was it's maiden voyage. Took TTOD on the 4th run before something broke. They ran it without the body. I hope they get it fixed tonight so it can run tomorrow. I gotta see this thing on course with the body on it. The owner says they have a big wing for it, too. Would run in BMod, according to the owner's wife. Built and owned by a retired couple from Fillmore. Obviously someone knows a thing or three about racecar engineering here.
