The RH02 cars were very successful in period, and continue to be in historic racing. They can be raced across the U.S. in both SCCA racing and historic racing with virtually all, if not all, of the vintage racing clubs.

These PRS cars can also  compete for championships with the Crossflow Cup, and Formula Ford Challenge Series in the U.S. and historic racing series and championships overseas as well.

This particular PRS has winning period history, and with a famous general at the wheel. That history helps set it apart from the many other Formula Fords, and helps make it a more inviting entry for the premier Formula Ford events.

It’s a good car on all levels, and can be purchased for a small fraction of what has been put into it. It’s a good deal if you want to go Formula Ford racing. The car is located in upstate New York.
