Does anybody know how to get ahold of user autosportwrench ? The person who posted on page 3 of this thread and was David Miller's shop mechanic? Also does anybody (Peter Zekert?) have photos of this car from 1979-1983 ? I have the car now.. racing on the West Coast with VARA and working to slowly try to bring it back to something resembling what it was in 1979-82 part of its life. As a vintage racer. ANy info, photos, help anybody can give would truly be appreciated. Thanks - STEVE

My apologies if this is annoying. I am bumping this OLD OLD thread back up to the top.. hoping again somebody might have more info, more stories, more DETAILS of this car from '76 - '83 race period, when owned and raced by David R Miller.

Old photos would be great...

This car has rich history.
Raced from 1976-2018
First in Class at over 20 Nationals and Regionals in the Midwest between 1979-1988
Won the GT4 MID DIV Championship in 1979 as a C-Sedan car and in 1980 and 1981 as GT4
SCCA MIDDIV champion in 1983 (GT5) but did not race in the Runoffs that year
Raced in the SCCA Runoffs 3 consecutive years: in 1979 (Champion Spark Plug Road Race Challenge - C sedan, 11th) 1980 (GT4, 11th) and 1981 (GT4, 5th).

My goal is to bring it back to C-sedan glory and get it accepted with CSRG and SVRA and eventually try to get it in the Monterey Historics if / when they have a class where it would fit in at some point.

If anybody has period photos of it from the 70's / early 80s (pre- GT flares and fiberglass) ... would be great. Time sheets from runoffs ? 79-81 ...

anything like that..

thanks

ddgonzal: Do you happen to have close up or high resolution pics of the plaques for the 1980 and 1981 SSAC runoffs (Champion Spark Plug Challenge). And the dimensions? This care race all 3 years 79-81 at the runoffs (per the log books) but only has the plaque for '79 . Tryign to think of some way to REPRODUCE the plaques.. even if just as sticker for nostalgia to mount on the dash with the others.. for the restoration.

No high-resolution scans or photos, but they were on eBay (1980 & 1981 plaques) earlier this month

Did you ever get in contact with Bryan Finch? I think he's in or near Modesto

Thanks so much.. I will start keeping close eye on ebay.. those would really help the build!

I did not yet contact Brian Finch.. probably my next step as I move forward with this! I do need to find some local source for info , knowledge and maybe even parts... and to learn to drive this thing (far different than my other car!)
