Prepared and entered by the Bob Garretson team, it earned a second-place finish at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1982 wearing Red Roof Inns livery in the hotly contested IMSA GTP championship series.
The car was 3 seconds faster than the second car on qualification...3 seconds !
After three more IMSA races held in the U.S., the car would later participate in international racing at the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans 1982 , with a top Speed 235 MPH at 24 Hours Le Mans 1982. where it was piloted by Rahal, Trueman and Skeeter McKitterick.
