[urq] urq Digest, Vol 100, Issue 17

[Michael Williams]

I don't know what it is worth. It isn't my place to put out a figure at this point. 

But it is very much a dedicated race car. The interior is stripped to the bare essentials, and it has a very trick exhaust set up. We had a trailer that we used to transport it. But Robin is the one who can answer this, really. 

It has a bunch of experience, but Tim built it to last. As I said before, I'd give anything to find a way to get it and bring it back to the bay area. I'd start campaigning it immediately if I could. 

Anyone in the bay area wanna put together a race team? Hehe. 

I can't speak to knowing the engine well, as the one that it has I it now is very different than the one Tim an I built for it.  He had always wanted to efi it, so that's the direction he went when we went in different directions when we were racing.

Tim built it in 98 I believe, and continued to develop it during my time racing with him under Gecko racing, and we ran it as the first car under the 4 Ring Racing banner in 99 and the first few months of 00 while we were sponsored by Audi and were waiting for the A4 to be delivered.

>> Tim Valencia is a genius. The roll cage in that car was built in the same vein as a touring car from that time frame. He was a master welder, and we won the super unlimited championship with the car in 99. Tim went off on his own in 00 and won the series again, and after leaving 4Ring Racing, he went back to the Gecko monicker an teamed up with javad.
