Art McQueary of A-Mac is working on developing a
customer kit version of the AM6. David Arken says that "The goal is
to be able to offer kits with proper instructions by the end of this year
[2001]. Everyone we talk to asks how much. The target number is under
$20K, for a completed roller." If interested, contact
Art.
Read an excellent article on DSR
racing, with specifics about
the James' A-Mac. The article was written by Paul Haney of Inside
Racing Technology.
The information below came from an A-Mac Sales
Brochure, circa 1994.
"The car for D-SR"
"The A-Mac AM-6, which debuted in 1991, is a proven race winner.
In it’s short history, the AM-6 has racked up an impressive list of
records and victories. In it’s inaugural season, driver David Arken
raced the AM-6 to a new class lap record at Sears Point International
Raceway. In 1992, driver Nelson Fesas won the Portland Rose Cup National
event. That same year, driver Gary Guethlein captured the San Francisco
Regional Championship in what is considered to be the "Hot-Bed"
of D-SR competition. In early 1993, driver Nancy James sped to new class
qualifying records at Willow Springs Raceway, Holtville Raceway, and a
race lap record at Willow Springs Raceway. Later in 1993, driver David
Arken again set the Sears Point track ablaze when he lowered the class
qualifying record. To top off this list of accomplishments, at the 1993
Pacific Coast Road Racing Championships, drivers David Arken, Eric Jochim,
and Gary Guethlein conquered the competition by finishing in the A-Macs
one, two , and three. Clearly the A-Mac AM-6 is THE CAR for D-Sports
Racer."
