Right, Pap. Giallo is a popular color for Challenge cars. Jim McGee at Pocono Sportscar who cares for my F355 Challenge helped develop the first North American 348 when he was at FNA... Image Unavailable, Please Login Peter Sachs raced this 348 Challenge in the 1994 North American Series... Image Unavailable, Please Login But it wound up looking like this... Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login So for 1995 he raced the first North American F355 Challenge which Jim McGee also helped develop... Image Unavailable, Please Login ...which now is my car... Image Unavailable, Please Login Jim McGee is happy taking care of his old friend. Yellow is a nice color for 348s and F355s.
I love this post! Any details about the crash? It looks like the frame did well. Did the engine detach? How well do 348's do in a major crash? I've never heard the anyone mention the safety. The pic of the day is my 348 getting 3D scanned. The tape and dots help with object tracking. From there I should be able to 3D print a front splitter that can be skinned in Carbon. I would be happy to share the scans for anyone interested. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

Scott, I'll be at Pocono Sportscar next Monday. Jim McGee should know how that happened. Peter Sachs put his F355 Challenge (now mine) on its roof at Lime Rock Park in 1996 as a result of a soft rollover into the infield exiting The Downhill turn. It was repaired in time for the next Challenge race. He wasn't injured in either incident. Barry
My car apparently spent a lot of time with Jim at Pocono Sportscar. The previous owner of my car apparently put around $40k into the car during the couple years he owned it to get it perfect but I've had nothing but problems with it, since I got it, and was told that it was flawless, hah! I've personally put around $30k into the car to get it to actually run and drive properly. This past weekend I had my first drive without any warning lights! From a burnt up clutch, sticky throttle cable, destroyed throwout bearings, interior leather hard as a rock, ripped CV joint boots, bad MAFs, no mesh in the cats, crossed wires (ABS computer power would turn on the radio and spin up the starter??), hood corrosion, fuel leaks, cracked and rusted rocker panels, bad ABS computer, melted fuses, oil leaks galore and a lot more. Despite all these issues, I've learned a LOT about the car. I wanted a Giallo TS and my pocket had a hole burning in it to buy one. So I bought it sight unseen (minus PPI). That's not to say that Jim didn't take care of the car, more so that it's just a small world. I felt like the previous owner heavily misrepresented the state of the car and PPI didn't find most of this, except cosmetic issues, corrosion, and a slippy clutch. It was "just good enough" to back off the truck before puking all 4 fluid types in the car within a couple of drives. I'm sure I would've spent a lot more to fix this if The various breakdowns i've had within a few months: Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Between my own fixes and david and carl at moorspeed here in Austin taking care of me, she's running like a champ now and rips through the twisty roads out here in the hill country. I've given her a new life!
