Cultivate Racing Culture and Engage the Community

>> So, long story short, I had this car here. I was Arca Racing. This was my car that I built that I was talking to you about earlier. We built at the body shop. And the car was okay, but it was a left-hand body and a lefthand chassis, and I honestly didn't know what I was doing when I built the car. So, Andy Belmont decided he was done in the Arca series, and he had this car. He bought it directly from Ford. Ford got it to him. Chad Mccumbi ran this car at Millville for a couple years. And then once Andy was done with it, it literally showed up in my driveway. Andy said, "You're buying this car." He said, "I know you're a road racer, and this is a great piece to have." And he dropped it off in the driveway. And I bought it from him that way. So, we went and ran Arca with it a couple years, had a good uh couple good finishes with it, and then we ran SECA some more. Um, and then I just haven't done anything with it probably in 10 years, I would think. So, you know, it's it's a really good piece. I didn't expect to do that. That's what's fun about doing these things. You never know what what people have or where things came from. >> You never know what you'll find. And And it's one of those things my my wife's like, "Oh, we need to sell that thing." I'm like, "No, this car we won't sell." Um, you can go up on the stairs and get a better shot. That's one of the the main history cars we have here in the garage. You know, it's painted up my purple. I've always loved purple and that's why we did that car that way. This is a cool shop.
