Maybe it's a return to the "drug dealer financed" IMSA racing of the 80's.

Don't think so. Loles appears to be in serious trouble.

Instant recall of Bill and Don Whittington too......., and T&R Racing. The 80's and early 90's IMSA racing will never be equaled for graft.

Reviving this old thread - Just heard that Kip is no longer with Manhattan Motorsports. Great guy and knew his stuff. The search begins for another shop to use.

If anyone hears of Kip turning up someplace let me know.
