Just got this reply on history of the car.
R

Mike Gue brought three cars over in 1988, two black and one red. The black one that Tom drove in 1988 finished 5th at the Runoffs. Brad Baytos was in the second black car, and I bought the red one. The driver of your car in 1989 was Anthony Lazzaro. Anthony went on to IMSA GT (mostly Porsche stuff) at Daytona, I think a couple of IRL starts and a year or so of Busch NASCAR and/or ARCA tin-tops. Your car was run by John Mullin (mechanic at ESSEX) for Lazzaro. Yours was the most successful RF88-F2000 over here. The southeast division was dominated by Reynards during that time. I replaced mine in 1993 with an RF93.

Funny, I just bought a trackside beacon for my data logger from Mike Gue in the states, I assume it would be the same guy... the world can be a small place sometimes!

Haha, our cars were on the same boat. But mine is going all the way to brisbane port, so it arrives tomorrow. Apparently its about a two week wait to clear customs, so should have it end of the month.

Yeah Dummy receipt is easy to type up... and it may be too late now, but there is no need to put the full price you paid for it, remember you will pay GST on the amount plus the import costs.... saved myself thousands the first time !
