Pics: Our road racers built by Woody at Bemco
Tube frame build by Woody back in 2005 as a Monte Carlo. Converted to the Howe Camaro body a couple years ago. Squeak Kennedy and I originally drove it, now driven by Squeak's son Bobby. The kid is seriously FAST. Less than 2500 # without ballast, power is by a 550 plus HP carb LS6.
Jerico 4 speed, Wilwood 6 piston brakes and Penske shocks. Hits 185 plus in the trioval at Daytona.

Total ground up build tube chassis. Started in 2009 and built to Grand Am Rolex GT rules with the crazy idea that we could afford to run a couple Rolex races per year. Completed in 2011, makes a fine club racer. 2500# without ballast, all forged LS6, nearly stock makes about 420 to the wheels.
G Force 4 speed, 9" Ford rear end, Penske's, Brembo's etc. A blast to drive and no more costly to operate than the GTA type stock cars.

Our Ford Taurus GTA car that was acquired in the fall. Powered by a 347 ci Ford small block it makes 500 plus hp at the flywheel. Pictured behind the car on the left is Cameron Lawrence who just won the Trans Am 2 class at Sebring. Next to Cameron is our shoe, Bobby Kennedy who won the Grand Am Total Performance showcase race at Watkins Glen last summer.
He was the saturday winner in the GTA class at the V8 StockCar opener at Sebring.
Cameron is 20 years old and Bobby just 19.
Used GTA cars can be bought from 15-25 K and may be the best go fast bargain in racing.
