I can't find a discussion thread for your race car, but is this your car? From a post on Facebook.

@Truenotch thanks - that sure is my racer. That was the first year that it ran targa. I dont have many pics of it from that year..

I was busy service crewing for this car until it fell off the road into a drainage ditch

Long time update:

Gearbox fitted, and engine dismantled for some tricks and refresh

 

Testing a 3D print timing gear drive for bottom end

 

Like the gear drive, will this be for sale ? Great work.

It didnt work out that well so the idea was dropped and I returned the motor back to timing chain. It may get picked up again in the future.
