I have a soft spot in my sole for these cars. My first Car and my first
race were one in the same. A '59 Bugeye Sprite. I started my racing in
one that looked a lot like this one. Other than the fancy wheels,
bigger tires, and full roll bar. Mine just had a drivers hoop rool bar.
I ran using the original wheels on Dunlop R5 racing recap tires,
The engine was modified quite a bit, balanced slight overbore, hot cam,
headers, close ratio gear box, etc. Fairly close to stock other than
it was as fast in third gear as a stock Sprite was in fourth.
It was such a sweet handling car. I really miss it.
