IMSA Gremlin

I did that a while ago, It produced some interest and some there remembered the car, which was great. It hasn't yet produced any old photographs yet, I may try again when I start to tear into the car.

John,

That information is spectacular! Thank you very much.

The car car is currently on the back-burner while I finish the new motor for my Javelin. But this information is awesome!

The detail you have listed will be amazingly helpfull.

 

I'm a member of the IMSA RS facebook group, and each time someone posts a new picture I am hoping for a glimpse of what the car looked like as it's in primer now. When I start striping the car I’ll be doing it in such a way to capture some information on its past color(s). Mechanically it appears complete which is nice. I find it odd that it currently has an old V-gate shifter.

 

Cheers

Mike

This is really great info for the IMSA RS cars.  I believe the Don referenced is Don Knowles who used to own this car.  He may even still be racing.  

As mentioned before I almost bought this car from George Beasley in 1996.  He sent me a great deal of information on how the car was set up, why certain mods were made and how they were made.  I finally found the write up he sent me. 

The write up was done by Ed Allen who owned the car before George.  There is another person, Don who is referenced as having additional information.  Amos Johnson is referenced several times in the write up. 

I also have a Washington post write up on the car racing at summit point.

I am posting it all below as JPG's  If the cars current owner wants a copy of the scans emailed to him let me know.

IIRC, 2-inch 0.080 is as good as 1-1/2 at 0.120-inch wall.
