Looks like a nice little Mini. What piqued my interest is the PRO3 car up for auction. What's the deal with that? I think I need to get the back story on that one from my fellow racers!

I'm thinking the trailer would be a good match with the pro-3 car...

Word on the PRO3 car is that TCMotorsports built the car and have a lien against it. Apparently a South King County Fire District fellow embezzeled $0.5M and got thrown in the slammer for 8 years by the U.S. Marshalls. Carlo told me he's been waiting to see if that thing ever came up for auction since he never got paid on the build. Strange times indeed. |
