Very cool, thanks for posting.

It looks like you guys have a good site in Aloha Stadium. When I was over on Maui and the Big Island before Christmas, I just missed the Maui season finale at MRP...too bad, I would have loved to run the rental Mustang convert

Anyhow, that is a great piece. I would send it to SCCA in Topeka as something to be added to the site acquisition package that they are providing the regions, as it is well made, doesn't make autocrossing look dangerous or sketchy and also attests to autocrossers being good tenants for a big project, like a stadium.

Hmmm... thats not a bad idea. I dont know how involved this club is with Nationals, seeing how i never hear it mentioned. They definetely could of used the support since it took a lot of work for them to secure Aloha Stadium.

I'll pass on the suggestion to SCCA Hawaii's powers that be. It sounds good to me

some of these guys are quick compared to the VERY FAST people i saw back on the mainland. Not sure if they particpate at Nationals tho. Its $1000 to ship the car to Cali, and then more to get it somewher on the mainland. And then multiply that by 2 since you have to get it back. I guess for just one time a year its not so bad, but yeah... i dont know if they do.

There will be a blurb about the show in an upcoming issue of SportsCar as well as the link for the video.

The Lee family are the only ones that make natls on a regular basis. Last year they drove in Tom Ellam's EP RX3. Curtis was 8th and his daughter that goes to school in Norcal won EPL.

In 1998 they brought their BSP Z car over and ran, Curtis was 17th.
