Yeah - they're great competitors and are a blast. When they couldn't find part for the transmission this year instead of packing it in they pushed through to the finish and wrapped it up earlier today. A great effort and true OLoA spirit.
There are lots of very cool bits and pieces on that car including, as you mentioned, a very early RideTech 4-link setup. There is a ton of history in that car...
