    No idea, but interesting car. Looks like it might be a bit short in wheelbase to be very stable.

    You can try to make a street car into an autocrosser or you can do a lot less work and make a race car into a great autocrosser

    Aero dynamically enclosed GPS receiver for the autopilot.
    If the driver is getting older and slower, like myself, he'll/she'll need these stealthy and of course perfectly fair advantages.
    Old age and treachery will overcome youth and exuberance!!!!

    Looks a bit heavy to get around an autocross course very quickly.
    I bet it'd be quick up a hill though. Pikes Peak anyone?

    Usually found on older propeller driven aircraft. It's a shell made of fiberglass for carrying some form of electronics. I'm pretty sure it's a joke used to attract and stimulate inquiry?

    Tend to agree that it is a conversation starter.

    With the car in E Mod trim it isn't on the car.

    I haven't seen the car compete in central Florida.

    My initial thoughts are it might have been built for the Bay Bottom Crawl, an annual event held in the keys.

    Says that the car weighs 2000 lb. It says that the wing was designed by a guy who builds Super Modified wings - 950 HP and a little over 1000 lb. (meaning the specs on a Super Modified car) and that the wing make 1000 lb. downforce at 100 MPH.
