I've already posted this. Strangely enough there have been 75 views of that thread and not one single comment.

I loved this quote by the driver...

"It was a nice day for a ride and the four rotor needed to go to Road Atlanta...If I got stopped I was going to tell them I was looking for the trailer!"

If he wants to get away, I seriously dont think any cops can even get close to him. not even choppers.

Yes, but he will be heard wherever he went in that car.

"The car ended up on display in the competition paddock with American Le Mans Series logos affixed."

Can anything be read into this quote?

The Kudzu race car is a chassis designed and built by our parent company (Downing Atlanta) walking distance from our company. Different generations have run different engines including 2,3 and 4 rotor versions. They have won their class at Daytona 24 hr more than once and at LeMans more than once. They have even won the WSC driver's championship. Dennis bought the last one we had which is similar to the one in my banner.
Dennis surely follows the beat of a different drummer!
