I'm sorry that I don't remember more details about Randy, the lad that sent the attached stuff.  Nonetheless - - I recognize the car and thought maybe you folks would like to see more and some details.  Here's the email he sent along yesterday:

The Goldenhawk caught on fire last year.  Randy and his crew have been working really hard to comply with SCTA rules and came close to not running at all 2 yrs ago.  I think it was the last day of Speedweek before they got all the changes made to be able to run.

They had a good run going and are meeting their goals very well.  Randy and the guys come from Canada each year and are learning more and more.  They're pretty good guys and willing to change whatever is needed to improve their streamliner.   

Hmmm, sounds like I know 'em a little, huh!!   :roll:  Nice guys, quick learners, good addition to our racing family.
