GEORGE LOWE'S 1995 GOLF "CITY" EDITION

 

   I purchased this car new in August of 1995.  This was formally my daily driver but is now my full time SCCA race car.  It is entered in the F-Street Prepared class and is raced at least once a month in Pensacola, Florida at Bronson Field.  The car has over 130,000+ miles on it with the original engine in an un-rebuilt state.  I recently had the transmission completely rebuilt and had a Quaife added to help during track days.
   The car has been entered in a few shows since I've owned it, winning 1st place seven times, 2nd place three times, 3rd once. The one show that meant the most was the 2nd place "Peoples Choice" at the 2001 1552 Winter Treffen show.
   The vision I originally had for the car has changed many times while I've been building it.  As you can guess with my current use for it I am trying to lighten the car as much as I can and still stay with in the rules of the SCCA class I run in.
