John,
That's pretty cool that they put that car in badboys site. They pretty much listed all the drivers. We couldn't afford to bring more drivers or crew members. We worked hard, spent as much as we could, and did about the best we could for the conditions. We only tested the car twice before it made it to europe, but that's what happens. All and all it was a good experience for us and most likely will not be returning to LeMans.
I had to stay back here and watch the shop because everyone went over there. I remember going to the airport at about midnight, driving the old shop truck to an airplane. And loading it myself, it had enough parts to rebuild the car.
Running the engine to 8750 rpm on open headers out the back door of our shop, was something I wish everyone could have heard-felt. We made some runs without the resistor, it was crazy!
The car is still being raced today, by Heinz Roth in Switerland and sports a SBC2 engine making some pretty crazy horsepower. It takes one hell of a car to beat this one!!!

Randy

You are right! Sorry, this took a lot of effort and $$$ to make happen. If we were going to do it again, we would take what we have learned and make it better. It would take a huge sponser or us winning the lottery, but we would do it again if the right deal came along. This was Doug's dream from a long time ago, we went, we raced, we did ok for the times.
