Curtis-

Tim Lanocha last year ran a 11.31 in his TR8 convertible. I think we should update his profile. It's just natural for a wedge to want to go faster! The shape of things that win!

I like how Jason kept the body lines clean to stock form.

I dunno, Mike. I think it needs a set of Group 44 flares! ;)

Curtis,

It seems that the Lanocha car is growing a reputation and some form of a following. The vintage races at Watkins Glen will have both Group 44 TR8s & the TR6. In addition Tim is bringing his car up for Bill Warner who owns the #4 TR8 to take for a spin! By the way Lanky Foushee & Bob Tullius will be there. I think Tim will be taking orders for body panels on site ;)

Michael
