It has been a number of years since I've began a build thread... and essentially this car is fully built, and more or less has been for nearly 30 years!!! So part of this thread will be to reveal some interesting information/history! And part of it will be to enjoy flogging a purpose built racecar

As some of you may know I tend to name my projects, and this is by no means any different. As this will likely be my one and only TRUE race car (carrying an SCCA log book for 90+% of its life), I introduce you to "Racecar", or "RC" for short
I'm undecided if I'll refer to it as she/her, or he/him, or maybe just it - that will develop as I own he/she/it
current livery...

The livery when built....

I will most likely returning it to her original livery..........

So, I have a 3" tall wad of papers I have to sift through, but what I can show you so far....

Racecar has 2 SCCA handbooks, that date back to 1988, this AE86 race car has been raced for many years.....
my plans: well I do have a local(about 5 miles away) track - Portland International Raceway...

... and I'm a member of a local car club that has track days a number of times each year. In addition, PIR also participates in Track Night USA.
I've already gotten Oregon "SP" license plates - which allows "limited" street use (under 2000 miles a year) - this will allow use @ events (Cars and Coffee, or cruises, or similar)

As some of you MAY remember... my bucket list was to take Surreptitious to the Nordschleife... well, my bucket list cost just doubled

more to come......
