thats the scca i use to watch and seeing it again for the first time in 3 year was quite nice but i must say i was suprised to see no - to very little manufacture sponsers
kinda sad really but oh well

The owner of that pace car lives one block from me. I thought it was just a daily car packed with go fast stickers. I guess it is legit.
