Yep. I know this one. Tony Martin from Dartmouth, MA (more or less).
That's southeast MA. Tony's car is interesting in that he made it GT3
pretty much only bacuse of the brakes. The car could be EP by downgrading
it a bit.

He puts the car for sale every year after the racing is over. At least,
it's been up for sale every year since around '98 or so.

in NEVER. Yuck.

Oh well, I guess I have to work on "other stuff" 'till it gets warm again.
