I wonder how good they are. It would be funny to build one if you could actually be competitive at auto-X or irritating at DEs.

That pinto belongs to a buddy , Jerry (Racer Walsh) was also a friend of mine. One year at the HSR races, Brian Walsh passed a buddy who was driving a fresh 911S. And when I told him that he got passed by a Pinto, he said

a very fast Pinto.
There is a huge support for those cars, more than you would think.


Brian is also the one who replicated the Dan Gurney for president decals I have on a few of my cars.
