Yes, that is a road-racing bred Renault le Car, circa 1982 with a tire-melting 55hp! And yes, it is covered in fur. And yes, that is a factory 1" exhaust pipe stepped up to 2 1/2" glasspack. Sounds like an underwater lawnmower! And yes, that is a hood mounted tach.

Sorry I will miss SAR this year, but I will still be racing! Special thanks to DBRODS for building the cage & other safety equipment!

hahaha thats awesome. totally different looking from the last time i saw it

:laugh: Good luck!

That thing looks so much better with fur all over it!

Good luck SC!

Good luck, I almost entered that with a few buddies.

Well, after 8 hours & 45 minutes of racing in a 9 hour session I hate to inform you that Pepe did a slow roll. He landed on his feet, but it is instant disqualification. We even managed to drive it back to tech inspection, but we were toast.

That has to be one of the best times I have ever had in a race car...even if it was a 55 HP Le Car!!!!

got any pics from the race?

Sounds fun - good job SC! :thumb:

Congrats, sounds like you had a good time.

It was all those top heavy drivers lol! I don't guess you got the roll on video?

No vid of the roll, it was on the backside of the track. Plenty of pics, so I will post them up when I can get them downloaded.

EDIT -
Here is a link to our end...
