These are a couple of pictures from the 2nd event of the year (1998) held by the Minnesota Autosports Club. Mark is driving the PRO Rally car with just a rim/tire change. This car was ripping through the woods of Pennsylvania just one week earlier. In fact, it still has a lot of Pennsylvania dirt on and in it.
This is Mary Utecht driving the car that started it all. It was a 1986 GLH-T. It is the car we started autocrossing in, back in 1986. Mark was working at a gas station not far from this site and he heard a bunch of tire squealing. Mark went to check it out and saw his first autocross. He called Mary at work and asked if he could borrow her 3 month old car. She asked what for and he told her it was fun and he would tell her all about it later. He went to pick up the car and when he got back, they let him take 3 runs. Mark won his class at his first event.
This is a 72 Challenger that we built from a 318 three speed with 4 wheel drum brakes into a 340 4 speed. It would do 13.3 @ 108 in the quarter on hand me down street tires. It would also do 1.0 G lateral acceleration, 1.0 G braking and .75 G accel (in first gear). Not too bad for a 3500 Lb car. At our first Porsche club event, only one Porsche beat Mark, a factory 911 lightweight racing car.

2003 IIRA Race.

This is a picture of the first ice race car (1994). Not very competitive, very ugly, very bent and very fun. Wade Roggeman and Fritz Wilke were Mark's teammates that year.
This is what was left of our first ice race car after the first year (1994). Fritz Wilke (white sweatshirt, in back) rolled the car at the last race. We were going to go PRO rallying with this car but the roll caused us to wait a year.
This picture was the first year (1995) for the second car. We ran in stock class that year and, if not mistaken, we finished second in points. Mark's teammates were Wade Roggeman and Jay Luehmann that year.
This is the second ice race car we built. This was the second season for this car and we switched classes. (1996). Jay Luehmann was Mark's teammate that year. Fritz Wilke and Wade Roggeman ran a CRX-si. The Omni won the open modified endurance championship that year. It was also pictured in Autoweek and featured in an episode of National Geographic Explorer (TV show).
This is the third ice race car we have built. It is a 86 GLH-T. Jay was Mark's teammate for this year (1997). We won the SGT championship despite many new car problems.
Wade Roggeman is changing a tire while Mark is trying to figure out why the turbo is pegging the boost gauge and causing an overboost shutdown.
