Gary has modified his Birkin for racing.
"I use my car for autocross only. It has nothing in it that is not needed for the events I run, no windshield, no lights, no interior and only the wiring necessary to run the fuel pumps, fan, Accusump and ECU. I had to add about 40 pounds of ballast to make minimum weight for D Mod class. The car is too low to run on the street; I have only 1 3/4 inches of clearance under the bellhousing before I bottom out."
