That's Annie (my girlfriend's sister) & John Bonvoilour's ITC car.  It's
pretty damn fast when it's not broken - took 2nd at the IT support races
for the Trans Am event at PPIR a couple of weeks ago.  Don't know about
them rainbow racing stripes, though... :-/  There's a picture of it at
http://www2.privatei.com/signedge/race.html - it's the animated GIF at
the top and the third one from the bottom (the second one from the bottom 
is mine, as it looked at the beginning of the season).

Better than I was that day - I made it out for autocross the next day and
got spanked (for the first time in several races, I'll have you know) by
Iain... I had just purchased a set of 13x9 Weld wheels (just under 10#
each), but only received three.  I put those on the front, and left my 19#
13x8 steels in the back - that was a baaaaad idea.  With the lightweight
wheels in front, my new caster plates, and much older tires in back it
was like having the hand brake pulled the whole way around.  I had one 
clean run, a total of 12-15 cones, and the only reason I didn't finish last
was because my friend James was kind enough to show up in his interesting
but dog-slow Opel Manta. :(  Because of this, I lost the points lead to
Mannix - only one more race to decide it with.
