    I've decided I can't make time to get this to the track. I purchased it in October 2015 from Rick Ross who had done ALOT of work to get it top condition but never finished assembling it.

    We got it here at my shop and finished the job over a period of about 4 months.

    All the critical components have been crack checked.

    The tub was gone through at Algie Composites.

    Dyno time only Loyning engine w/carbs.

    Top of the line PI "Delta" logger and dash.

    Fresh "everything"

    Has numerous spares, gear sets, wheels (unassembled) that I have not inventoried

    Needs belts and a couple of little things.

    $32,000

    Default Nobody?

    Not one inquiry.

    Priced too high?

    I thought that with everything that has been done to the car and the very high end Pi system I would get "some" interest..

    I'm surprised as well. Sounds like a reasonable package & price to me. But then again, I have four cars that I don't have time for so what do I know!
    Good luck with the sale..... I'm sure it will come.

    I know how meticulous both Keith and Rick are, and I've been hearing about the refurbishing (for the past 3-5 years?), so there's no doubt in my mind that this car is as close to perfect as possible.

    There are only two reasons why I haven't bought it (and you can probably guess them. :-)

    Good luck with the sale (but I'm disappointed we wont be racing together like old times).

    I know a little bit about Rt40 & 41s.....this is an amazing deal, and a giveaway price for the car...and , yes, I have looked at it closely.....The RT40 is still faster than most of us.....Villeneuve and Bourbonnais were practicing in the 13"s at Road Atlanta with the Dip....

    Having purchased a car from Keith in the past... very reputable seller.

    You are talking about one of the fastest cars in SCCA racing at about 1/3 the price of a competitive FC.

    A lot of bang for the buck.

    Default Where is it now?????

    I was just talking with Keith (the seller), and we were wondering what happened to this car? It was bought by someone who was a VIR member, but we can't recall his name. This was a really nice Ralt, and I hope someone has been enjoying it for the past few years.

    Does anyone have any ideas regarding the status/location of this car? Thanks!

    I am a VIR member and run a couple cars in the open wheel category but don't recall seeing this car last year. Of course, if the color was changed from these photos, it may have been there in 'disguise'.

    Thanks for the response. I actually recently located this car and touched base with the owner. He has not had the car on track since his purchase. Hopefully the car will make an appearance at VIR soon.
