Anyone know the whereabouts of the Red Brick? wonder if it’s still doing the open track

Last I heard @lilcuda sold it.

Last I heard @lilcuda sold it.

He sold it in 2016. It changed hands a few times, @MrBelvedere2 had it for a bit but I believe he sold it as well.

@813Demon340 was another one of the owners here. Pretty sure he bought it from @lilcuda and had it before @MrBelvedere2.

One of those guys Brent F in Lake Tahoe?

I think he owned it before lilcuda

Mr Belvedere/Larry did own it but like others that also owned it, he found it to be a bit too harsh for street use. We both live east of the Bay Area in Northern CA.
Imagine a gutted out shell with no comforts at all, nothing to deaden the vibrations and noise.
Sure, it was probably a blast to drive on a track and in theory, you could drive it on the street but it was not a easygoing race car.

Here is the order of owner's I know of
Tim Werner sold it to Lee (lilcuda)
Lilcuda sold it to Brent F (in Reno, NV)
Brent sold it to me (Larry)

The car was a great car and was built very well. I reached a crossroads with it where I was going to have to put about $6,000 into it to keep it going (Transmission would pop out of gear, needed a rebuild. Needed a better fuel setup instead of the stock tank, etc.)

It just sat too much for me event though it was street legal and a blast to drive!

I realized I'd rather go back to Lemons/endurance racing instead of the HPDE track events where you only go out for 20 minutes at time, which is really what this car was built for.

I ended up selling to a guy name Kyle in Socal, I lost track of it after that and don't know if he still has it or not.

I definitely had a good hard look at the Red Brick when it was for sale a couple different times. Fortunately for my pocket book and my other projects I was able to refrain, my Duster is basically a street going version of that Valiant already, although I had to tell myself that a whole bunch of times while I was ready to send emails and pick up the phone!
