Notes/Race History: Car built by Ted Marsh, using a C5 frame which was purchased for $ 4,000 on E-Bay. This car won its first race at Sebring 2007 The team ran two cars in SCCA World Challenge from 2007 to 2009. Car # 30 was driven by Eric Curran and car # 31 was driven by sonny Whelen. For 2010, the team shifted to Grand-Am racing (GT class) and ran only one car. Although Ted Marsh modified an existing WC car, the new Grand-Am car is listed separately. This reflects both the signficant re-structuring of the car and the increasing differences in rules between the two series. New Grand-Am rules permit tubeframe construction to lighten the cars; this is an offset to the smaller engine requirements. Drivers for 2010 were Eric Curran and Brandon Davis Registry ID Number: 609 View Original Size  Mark Windecker |
