That's 001. We'll be at Road America testing on Monday. Kelly Moss have done a great job prepping the car with some help from Rothsport who rebuilt the gearbox. I'll take some photos of the car tomorrow and post them when I get back.

After a refresh by Kelly Moss it was great to see the car at Road America. It looks fantastic and our plan was to use the test day to get the car fully sorted before the PCA event at Road America over the Labor Day weekend. Unfortuantely the day didn't get off to a great start. The left rear upright failed on the out lap of the second session. Thankfully Kelly Moss was able to get a spare from the shop, install it and get us back on track by mid afternoon. Then we started experiencing a fuel pick up/starvation issue. So somehat as expected we are working thru problems as we discover them to get the car prepared to a level we are all happy with. Kelly Moss continue to update the car and prepare it for the event later this month and having Jeff Gamroth at the test (Rothsport Racing) was a hugely beneficial.

Yes, Mark GT3 and KMR RSR 001 are one in the same person.

The car will remain white/black, only what's required by PCA will be added for the next event.

Over the winter we'll work on the bigger projects which include the engine. Our goal is BIG horespower...

Fuel pick-up? The pumps (dual 962's) were replaced when we rebuilt the engine.

The upright photo is downright scary!

You got the mirrors! I asked for them in 2008 and was told they had been one-off's for 002...

Car looks fantastic. Looking forward to seeing you (both) in a few weeks.
