Had the opportunity to see the old Gatorade sponsored IMSA \car yesterday so I snapped a few pictures. A buddy of mine is working with Downing restoring the car.

I am more interested in the construction aspects so sorry if the pictures seem a bit focussed on wired stuff.

Sweet! I had a feeling there were some cool cars inside.

It's great that at least one was saved... shame about the other one. Is it being modernised - that's not the 'period' gearbox for the car.

thats quite a find.

Thanks for sharing Billy! Jim had told me that he would be getting underway on this ride soon. Good to see it moving along. The funny thing is there are 3 or so other folks in the USA who claim to have an original Daytona GATORADE RX-3.

You can definitely see the factory race touches in this RX-3.

Bern, no problem. I knew others would appreciate the pics. I picked up a few parts to powder coat for the car as well. I have been wanting to stop by to see what was underneath the bodywork on this thing for a while.

Anyone got some pic's from the track?

Just kidding.

I was going through around 30 pictures from when the car was active. Was not allowed borrow them for scanning. I will see what I can do about getting down there one day to scan them.
