I didn't know I had a turbo either!
I think they were confused with Leighs car which was sitting next to mine.
There is a turbo Polar Sliver Oval in England though.
A little over 2 years ago I did a supersprint with the Combined Sports Car Association at Wakefield Park. I had a run with a Honda S2000 and wiped the
floor with him. I never saw the article but one of the guys in the Jag club told me that there was an article in Australian Historic Car Magazine (or
whatever it's called) and they said that my car was turbocharged. Funny.

I've seen features on both those cars... They're mad!
Have you seen the autocraft oval from so-cal? With the 2.8 turbo/methanol autocraft motor in it as well?
Runs 4 wheel disks too, but no IRS or anything fancy like that. Just a cage and 17" cups. lol
