Both JP Jr. and Jim Pace help me in my early race days . They are both great guys.
Jr's illness is such a tragedy

Jim Pace was able to knock 4 more seconds off. Huge field. Lots of fun. Best wishes to John Paul jr.

That is Art Pilla's ex IMSA customer built to GT2 Evo spec 993. Nick G put a 935 body on it. Notice the six speed trans?

Awesome car and great effort by John Jr's friends to get out awareness about Huntingtons and to help John.

Interesting that it's Art's old car. I remember seeing it a couple times at PCA events in the 90s when he was testing it. RIP Art, he was a really nice guy. Always used to joke with me that he wanted to buy the 935 nose off my 914 racecar for his 935.

Fantastic that these guys are doing this in JP Jr's honor.
