Since we started running the X at LeMons.. I have been trying to find an article in x1/9 Road & Track magazine about the x1/9 they ran at Nelson Ledges 24 hour show stock race.. Memory also says, the x1/9 finished 1st in class in 1983 & 1984. Both times, Kim Baker ran the cars and team..
This appears to have become a forgotten bit of x1/9 racing history..
Recently, I found some photographs from that race posted by a race photographer who has been at this for over 30 years...

If one looks at the top finishers at this event, it's similar to the roster of finishers at 24 hours of LeMons...
