If that car is like Gary's then it's full C5 underneath including IRS and transaxle, IIRC Wayne Due did the chassis work initially. Neat track car for sure!

Here's the video of John's car at Laguna:

Also, up in the Sacramento area there is a mid-engined first gen track car that is in work...

Extra cool. Are they just track cars or do they run NASA AIX or something?
