Hi guys.
I'm Danny and live in Hudson Valley NY. Eventually I'll be racing in NER, or possibly Challenge Cup.
I just purchased a 1992 BRD AFV-02. Originally, the car was owned by Robert Gunde. It was raced all over the place in the East, some Midwest, some South. Finished first in 1992 a couple times(with lap records!) at the hands of Greg Rice. Then it was raced by Doug Sean or Sea(can't read the cursive signatures). This was the last year the cars were made by BRD before BRD was sold to Bill Vallis in Ontario.
In 2008, the car went to Bill Ross(#55) who raced it all over the East Coast for ten years, quite successfully I might add.
After that, the car went to Dave Rodman in 2018, and has been sitting. Dave runs another BRD that he also purchased from Bill Ross.
No pics yet, I'll be going over the car with a fine-toothed comb. Get rid of surface rust, paint some stuff, lube and adjust. Got to replace the belts and clean it up, flush the brakes, finish installing the motor. The motor was supposedly rebuilt by Dave Carr, and has an hour or so on it. But sitting for 4 years, so at the minimum adjust the valves and change the oil and clean the carb out. Do I need new valve springs?
I'll need to put some kind of padding in the seat area, I don't need to sit as deep as taller guys, I'm 5'9". But I'm 220, so perfect size car for me.
Anyway, I'm excited to get going. I met a bunch of the guys at the spring Thompson Driver School and also a couple weeks ago at Lime Rock regional race.
It's really cool to me to have all the logbooks, there are three full ones! Plus I've got a new one to start.
Here's the ad from 2018 when Bill Ross sold the car:
