Vintage racing is a popular sport and continues to grow steadily with competition coming from the BMW 2002, Datsun 510, and Alfa Romeo sedan models (known as ‘tin tops’). Car enthusiasts are looking to find, restore, preserve, and drive these race cars on the track – including longtime motorsport fan, Pat Womack, general manager of Laurel BMW of Westmont.
Womack purchased a shell of a 2002 that desperately needed an overhaul. It had no engine or transmission, the roll cage lacked safety features, and cosmetically, it wasn’t up to Womack’s standards – you get the point. The vehicle also had to meet published vintage racing specifications for organizations such as SVRA, VARA, and others.
