hi all new member. just picked up this AH sprite this car was the 1978 scca solo2 national champion. i knew the driver back when i was a kid we worked together at a morgan shop.by chance i met the mechanic for the racer and car who has been storing the car (outside) for over 2 decades. its just too cool looking to let her go to the scrap yard. the car was also on the 1978 scca sportscar magazine cover (trying to locate a copy). so ill run her through the shop in my spare time, i took patterns of those way coool 70's race graphics so we can duplicate it. hey i've done way dumber things in my life!
her's a link to a video of the rescue.
cheers, dan

That's going to be an awesome project!
Good luck!

I hate Opossums.

Ambitious project! But it's nice to save it, just for the history.

I run mine in about 10 to 12 sprint or enduro events per year (we'll be in New Hampshire next weekend).
<span style="text-decoration: underline">Ewwww!</span> on the dead opposum.

If you were willing to "de-flare" it, this car might make a good vintage racer (SVRA, VRG and most other vintage sanctioning bodies don't allow flares on these cars).

Anyway, G'luck with it!
