Steve asked me to post this, he was having some issues with the pictures. I saw this car at BPG and must say it is one of the finest Stage GN'S I have seen. The car is built right with attention to detail in everything. I would buy this car in a second if Steve was to sell it :rock:


Here is a run down of my 86 Gn.

Steve's car is a great tribute to his skill and attention to details. Steve's car has as much class as he does! He is always willing to help a friend.
He is a major player in TSE now.

The car is not near as nice as his Occ Schwinn 80cc motorbike.Steve has been a great friend since we were both running in the 13s and we have raced and picked each other up for many years .His car has come a long way and this car is working flawlessly.WAY to Go Steve.
My biggest highlite of the year was watching him tree Red Armstong in the semis at BG .

I've got one decent video. I'll try to upload it. I broke the spider gears in the rear at BPG. I now have a spool in it.
