I would put TDC Racing, with racing under the TDC

that way if you were to get a sponsor, just take that off and put their name on

Clear Opel , Von Opel,Willy's Opel in memory of the German industrialist Wilhelm Von Opel which the car was name after

If it was painted red, then Baron Von Opel would be appropriate.

A Blue Max (Blauer Max) theme might work.

A well known S/G racer, Marty Krohn had one in the 80's and won some races with his.

He called it the "Pocket Rocket"

The Wayne County car was easily the best Opel GT ever.

It changed hands a few times and was owned by a number of very successfull racers....
Wayne County...Dave Hutchins
Larry Kopp
Todd and Alan Patterson...

I lliked those cars and always wanted one for S/G racing......Way cooler looking than the Vega I did have at the time....

A friend of mine had bought the opel and pulled the motor out and slowly stripped it, So it sat out back of his place as a body and rear,no windows in the rain for a year or two. I knew the history of the car as my brother worked with Jim Zane who raced it from 1980 to1996 when he crashed it .Jim also set I think 7 national records in those years. But other than that i dont know a whole lot. Sometimes Issac Zane is on here maybe he can chime in since he used to run the car also. Anyway i always had hotrods but ever since i was a kid wanted a race car so i made a deal with my friend and paid him a little at a time, put it back together and here i am. I still need alot of help as i suck as a driver(damn red lights) lol, but im learning and spending some quality time with my son doing it , so its worth it to me.
