Nice. You gotta get some in car video of that sucker doing a few laps

Is the car class built or more for open track days?

No doubt video will be mandatory! The car was built for open track days.
This car was driven by one of the track pro's on it's first day out and ran a 1:02 on the North track and ran a 1:28 on the South track at the Autobahn road course. This was done on R6 tires, it will be even faster when slicks are installed! Bob

We need some video of that bad boy....

Could you give some insight on the swaybar construction? The end links and bar ends are not something I have seen. I would have guessed to see a splined shaft/arms leading to the rod ended links.

Looks great, I hope the owners beats the snot out of it (in a good way).

The sway bars are more or less one off builds. The wings on each side can be rotated.
