The 00 car has a Roush built 427RX with a TKO 600 tranny.For anybody who is interested both cars are for sale for $55 000 each. The main difference between the race cars and our road cars are the weight and safety features. Both cars use our standard chassis layout with a full cage added. The chassis come off our standard jigs and the body comes out our standard molds.
A SPF roadster got 3rd. This car was built to do the one lap of america and is know as the PPG car. How stock is the car............I don't know. I guess it can be registered but it didn't look like any of the SPF cars we have seen at most of the car shows we go to.
It was a great weekends racing and I believe both SPF and BDR customers will appreciate seeing the cars running on the track. Our commitment to racing helps us build a better product for the street and it is an extremly good place for us to learn about the products we use. We hope to continue our relationship with HSR so that we can do this again.

Reg,
Thank you for adding to this. As a spectator and Superformance owner, your participation along with Olthoff was spectacular. The weekend highlight.
Amazing that the cars I saw could be bought for $55,000. Looking at the Olthoff site, the car they raced is for sale for $50,000...

Many of us have more than that invested in our "street" cars.
Anybody at the track last weekend with their eyes opened saw an amazing show. Everyone on this board has their rooting interest. I was cheering on Olthoff. Others had different preferences. All that matters is there was real competition with cars we love. I truly hope this is an effective marketing tool and sells cars for you and the other participants. I hope to see your cars along with other manufacturers at the races.
