Default Grnmnstr new car

Hi guys,

I bought a 1978 Grand LeMans.

It was a bracket car, so it has a cage and ladder bars. Needs a little bit of work here and there. We have the motor/trans from my T/S car being rebuilt now. We will run brackets and index races next year.

See you at the track
Tom

Default Excellent

Glad to see that you're doing well and looking forward to seeing what you do with that Grand Lemans. With your Powertrain, that thing could be awesome.
