Tom Schuh-Blitzwagen

Aaron Latvala had an awesome one, ran it first time at the bug in or drag day that the timing system went down for the whole day and they did the flag start. ran 11:33 first time off the trailer at that race, won one of the Bug O Rama's in Sacramento and a race at Antelope Valley as well. I have pics somewhere I can dig out. Was yellow with red and blue candy stripes.

Also guy with the last name of Davis ran one, he ran a bug also....can't recall his first name, maybe Wayne?
