21st Season Driving!

Celebrating good driving weather with customer John Mackay’s 21st season driving his Roadster. John says his trip to the Olympic Park “is a nice day’s drive at just over 300 miles.”

In regards to his car he says, “using coil-overs and 6-piston Baer brake calipers in all four corners as well as two healthy sway bars have made this ‘kit car’ a respectable road car at 21 mpg using a new Corvette LS3-480 h.p. crate motor and a Tremec TKO-600 with a .82 fifth gear.” What a beautiful car and view from Washington’s Olympic National Park —here’s to many more seasons driving!
