Driver Steve Nowicki prepares for Sunday's Cup race in 95 degree heat. He finished the race in 5th place, the first driver in a 1.6 Miata, and the first across the line without a professionally built, $6000 Sunbelt prepared engine. King Motorsports Unlimited prepared the cylinder head, mated to a stock 73k mile bottom end.
Nowicki finished fourth overall in points for the weekend out of 72 Spec Miata competitors.

Updated pictures of Steve Nowicki's Fire Arrow cage now complete!
Here is the car with paint, and the main structure completed. The seats are sparco, and I included window nets becuase when the car is completed in a few years time, I expect all US and Canadian sanctioning bodies will require them for rallying.
Strong like bull!

New FireArrow Rally car build
To have some fun and create an interesting twist to the Historic rally scene, I am building a 1980 Plymouth FireArrow. The beginnings of the project can be seen in the below. This brings us back full circle to the two Production Class ass whoopings over the factory teams in 1982 and 1983 in the SCCA Pro Rally Championship!
The project has begun at King Motorsports in New Berlin, WI in January 2005 which incidentially, was the home of the original rally car driven by Steve Nowicki!
This image is special. Pennsylvania mountains about 5:00AM. The sun *just* starting to show, and foggy as 'ell. Special ops needed for this mission. Kick some butt, take no prisioners, turn off the lights and drive the trees.
We started at least one minute behing Randy Black, the Canadian rally champion driving his Nissan 160J open class car. Up the mountain, and it got foggy. We passed this guy with the 105 horsepower Plymouth Fire Arrow with our parking lights on. Woohoo! Once back down the hill, as shown here, the fog lifted, and we were caught. This picture effectively has co-driver Brian Berg and myself one minute ahead of the champ at an acute junction. It is memorable stuff from the 1982 SCCA ProRally championship. What more can I say?
