It's the first time in a long time that a Canadian car has won. Probably the first time it has come to BC too. A real under dog victory for a small shop in Osoyoos.

Thanks. Jf can take 99% of the credit. There are 20,000 hours in this car! I was only deeply involved for the last three months or so, plus a few days right at the beginning. (Five years ago). There was a massive volunteer crew too, it's amazing how hard people can work when getting paid in beer and pizza.

i remember seeing revision in bare steel a few years back and it was really incredible then, tons of one of a kind ideas and quality workmanship. I can only imagine it up close and finished.
