It was then sold to John Sheeley of Richmond Virginia.  He raced the car in various SCCA associated auto club events in the 1990's, winning the majority of the events he entered.  He then sold the car to Paul Merrigan in 2002 who continued racing the car in SCCA, SCCA Vintage, VARA, HSR SVRA events until 2011 when it was sold to Mac McGarry who campaigned it in Vintage.
