This is my Grassroots Motorsports $2006 Challenge 12A powered 1980 Triumph Spitfire at a recent SCR-SCCA event. Enjoy!

 

yes! i was reading that article and it reminded me of you posting up a while ago saying you were going to this and i was waiting to see if you were ever going to respond back with how well you did nice video.

 

Good stuff man! That is one of the last good car mags out there for the "hardcore" car guy.

 

Figured I'd throw up a couple more pictures just for fun.

 

bringing it to the gap?

 

If it were street legal, I would. No turn signals makes it hard to license.

 

that's odd, i didn't know SC now has people at the DMV go out and check such things before issuing a registration.

 

What kinda muffler is that?

 

The muffler is a Flowmaster dual outlet. Yeah, it's loud. I got an entire exhaust out of a Dodge pickup and it had two 3" slash cut chrome tips. I cut them off and welded them to the muffler. I use a Dynomax turbo muffler when we are running near housing, it cuts power noticeably over about 6500 RPM but at least we don't get noise complaints.

I bought the car with no title, just a bill of sale. Last time I did that, I had to go to the DMV down here with the car on a trailer for it to be inspected by a DMV employee for correct VIN etc and had to go thrugh a cursory inspection. Talk about a PITA.

 

i did that quite while back. wheni checked to see what had to be done to get a title, the woman at the DMV took the VIN # and got an address to the last registered owner. i had to send him a registered letter about getting me a copy of the title. the woman at the DMV told me that the best thing that could happen is the letter come back unopened, and it did. so i fill out a form for lost title, and i was able to get a title for it. then later after getting the car running, i got registration. never onece had to trailer it to the DMV.

 

Nice car looked like a great run

 

That is exactly why I too love Grassroots Motorsport Magazine. It does seem to be the last real car guy magazine left. And that Spitfire looks like one hell of a fun car.
