Who else is still racing Volvo 142's

[Garcia]

I've had one for several years, running regional SCCA events in Florida, and would like to hear from others who are still racing "the brick". Regards, Mariano Garcia

Guilty.

I'm pissed off at mine since it broke the crank at VIR last year and put the rod through the side of the block... It's sitting rusting in a garden...

There is a guy in Alberta still running a tub based GT3 1800ES.

Ouch! I've broken pistons, and I've broken rods... but I ain't never broke a crank.

I was beside John Flannery when his GT-3 Volvo self destructed on the front straight at the Glen. Half the block was missing afterwards.

I thought Volvos are indestructible. What's this talk about exploding motors?
