Any Fiero road racers running tube chassis cars?

Looks like a dead section of the forum but...
I currently have a GT1 (John Ginn chassis) and a GT2 (Huffaker clone). GT1 is waiting on and engine refresh - 90* GM V6, 4.5L and the GT2 is being finished up to hopefully see some time trial duty this season.

Any one else have a tube frame car (or know where any others may be squirrelled away?)

Nice cars! I love the notchie.

The Fiero racers I know are running cars based on the stock spaceframe. There must be a lot of tube frame cars out there but I rarely see them come up for sale.

What tracks do you go to?

I am in central OH - the GT1 car has been to Mid Ohio (OVR-SCCA Time Trial) and Nelson Ledges. The GT2 car has not been out yet. Once sorted, I hope to run Nelson, Mid Ohio, GIngerman, Corvette Museum, Pitt Race etc. TT events. Maybe some select events with the Gridlife bunch.

Always watching for the tube frame cars - more were raced than seem to be accounted for.

Thanks!
I have the mold for the wraparound fiberglass rear spoiler - just need to find time to lay one up to try.
GT1 is the 4.5L w/March gearbox
GT2 (all white) is a 2.7L SD4 with Muncie gearbox case running straight cut Webster gears and a custom LSD
