This build and story has been in making for the last two years, and it's been long time coming to post about it. As a reference to where it is at right now, it looks like this:

A long story, so I will have to type this out in parts. So here we go...


Part 1: Genesis

July 2011. Team 949 Racing needed me to start gaining wheel-to-wheel racing experience so that I may be eligible to drive with them at the 25 Hours of Thunderhill later that year. Various generous donors, 949 Racing, and 2nd Chance Roadster got me started by getting my own car to drive to train with the team. That was goal #1. It didn't have to be the most exotic thing ever, and it didn't have to be fast. It just had to work and allow me to race. Goal #2, to have a car to compete (and be competitive) in a Chumpcar race later in the year.

Monty started life as an unmolested '94 M-edition shell. With Alex's help, part-by-part, Monty began to take shape.

In about two weeks, it was ready to shakedown.

And two weeks later, it was ready for night enduro lights testing.

And one week after, it debuted at its first NASA race weekend, and got on the podium in its first two races.
