Summary
Considering a few options for the COM 2022 season. Car is a multiple-class winning car built for COMSCC Time Trials, holds class records in T50, T60, SD. Car currently runs in SD, could also slot in towards the top of T80 on current setup, middle of T70 on Nittos/RE71R, or top of T60 on 300 tw summer tires.  A swap back to the M52 cams would remove ~8 Touring points from engine assessment.

Built and maintained by Wile Motorport. No longer street legal - built for Time Trials & HPDE; very good safety gear, however does not have full cage for W2W racing. Driver and passenger belts were new for the 2020 season. Shocks were also rebuilt at the factory and upgraded to their latest valve design.

Clean title, formerly registered in MA as street car. Car is straight, but does have it's fair share of zipties; never involved in contact with a wall, barrier, or other vehicle.

New kid has arrived and the feeler is still out. Car set 4 SD track records in 2020:

South Oval: 1:11.718
Palmer: 1:45.216
remlap: 1:44.414
WGI: 2:07.881

Photos are old, nothing has really changed aside from new belts on both driver and passenger side. Schroth Flexi 2x2.

[Mick]

It wasn't the car that set those records kid.
Congrats and good luck with the sale.

[DanB]

Great car, kicks ass for realz, good luck with sale!

[dtlemoine]

This is, of course, still for sale (for the right price, isn't everything??). Updated asking to $19.9k with the new Chris Howard cage, Schroth belts, and Wile Motorsports' 2021 refresh.

Could easily slot in to T60 (good street tires), 70 (Hoosiers), 80 (with ~5 points to spare currently on discontinued R1S'), and of course, stands at the sharp edge of SD.

Could take this over to NASA and run GTS2 or WRL GP2 based on my back of the envelope math. Believe it can run competitive lap times in both. There's probably a decent home for it in SCCA as well, I'm just not familiar with those rule sets.

Pending sale. Car will be staying in the region, but outside of COM. Be on the lookout for a wacky livery running with some of the more "fun" Enduro series...
