There are several people building cars, but none are running yet. Everyone is shooting for 800++ to the wheels. Should be some good running cars in the area in a few months.

Are you looking to build something?

Erik does good work as well as Hans. I had Hans build me a 396...and have driven a few motors from Erik.

You can't go wrong with either builder.
