Reading it a bit i've found it use to belong to a guy named Jeff K and it was stolen quite some time ago. Looks amazing.

Jeff Kiesel is a multi-time SCCA Solo National Champion. He bought that car when it was a show car (it used to be bright orange), converted it to a winning BP Solo car and eventually sold it. I believe it was stollen last year or the year before, and I don't know if it was ever recovered.

Kiesel's current car is a bugeye Sprite with a 13B turbo. http://www.racingbeat.com/mazda/perf...ff-kiesel.html
Here's some footage from within the Sprite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBVVssJwx2Y

That was Jeff Kiesel's BP car just prior to being sold. Jeff was kind enough to allow me to drive it at a Divisional a few years ago when my turbo blew after the first run. Jeff's EM car is outragous.
