Awesome! That's one of my 'won the lottery' daydreams.

Like this guy: In his front yard, this man built America’s largest private racetrack.

Unless there are two dirt bike riding sports car nuts in Rosser, Manitoba I will assume he is.

I'd build a scale replica of Silverstone or Monza, scaled to shifter kart size.

Not my first post if I remember correctly, but after my 50th birthday this year the memory is not to be trusted.

The 3.5 is a 60 degree v, not 90. I like that motor. Once you open up the intake and exhaust it pulls hard to redline and has plenty of torque.. i wish i knew what it felt like in a car that size.
