Hi Shawn,
Peyote MkII has a long, long, long story, but I'll do the capsule =
version. Peyote was built by Bill Ames in Minneapolis from TR3 totalled =
and bought from an insurance company. The first body was a staggeringly =
ugly cigar shape, so it was rebodied, hence the MkII moniker. Ames and =
his buddy Broughha later collaborated on the AMBRO body. It has a TR3 =
frame and drivetrain but extensive tube supports so it looks at first =
glance like a tube frame. It raced a long time in SCCA and other venues, =
and at one time had a clear plastic spoiler and home-made 9" wheels.=20
Pat Starr rescued it from oblivion in the late 80s and restored it, =
Baxter Culver bought it and raced it very sucessfully in Northern =
California. I bought it in 1999 and have raced it ever since.=20
It's a pretty amazing car for a TR3-based special. The 2:44:445 at Road =
America was helped by a huge draft down the straight from Sam Halkias' =
TR6, but it did a couple by itself as well.=20
