This was a momentary diversion from racing the 1200

Ok guys I had no idea anyone would reply to this pic............so a month late here goes.

That is a 71 Volvo 144 stock class rally car I got from a Finnish friend. This was taken at a California Rally Series Rallycross points event here in Las Vegas. I finished 2nd overall (all the Subaru kids were scratching there head as to how they got beat). They over all winner was a Kiwi , he has since won the SCCA open class National Championship. This was taken in 2000.
As to the body lean a friend comments that I should cut a window in the roof so that way I could see out.......the sway bars have been removed on the car so that the suspension rolls nicely over rough terrain. While doing recce on roads for the Rally we organize I caught about 5 ft of air with the thing at 75-80MPH and it never bottomed. Sadly I sold it when I still had my single seat sports racer.....should of kept the Volvo instead of the black hole of cash sports racer!!
Final note is this picture was in Sports Car magazine.
