My Dad’s Car Sep 22, 2008
I‘ve been thinking about buying a D Sports Racer for use in Solo’s B Modified category for some time now. They’re typically 800 or so pounds and powered by motorcycle engines. The result is fun and frighteningly fast—for very little money. I posted a note on a DSR forum looking for a car and after a few “not quite rights” someone emailed me about their Mk18 LeGrand. It turns out that it’s the exact car that my dad purchased new in 1976 and got his SCCA racing license in and it was quite reasonable. How could I say no? I’m in the process of getting payment and shipping sorted out now.
