The autocross Colt was built into a little race car in 1994. This car began life as a Production class Pro Rally car. After changing hands it came to Team Harco by way of (navigator) Al Zifilippo. A whole year was spent tuning and developing the car. One of the keys in the buildup of this car was to take off weight every way possible.
