Default keep your eyes out for a stolen race car

Passing this on...


1998 Swift 008 Formula Atlantic, S/N 008-001, Wht/Blu/Yel in color.
Number
48 on rear wing, Advanced Medical decal on side.
1988 White Chevy 3500 one ton crew cab dually, California plate#
3T99328
1886 White Dico trailer, California plate# YF6874

All was seen driving out of the Super 8 motel between 1:00-2:00 am on
the
17th. I'm more concerned about the race car than the other items. Any
help
would be appreciated. Guy's be careful, I was in for less than 24
hours for
testing at Buttonwillow raceway.

Best regards,

Lee Atkins

This is my biggest fear about towing my car to away events.

Sorry for your loss. Did the truck have any security measures on it?? just curious

I'm so sorry for your loss. Reading that made my stomach turn. It'll also give me some sleepless nights while staying in motels near the track. I always worried about someone messing with the car on the trailer (no way to lock it up).

I honestly can not imagine your level of frustration.

No, I was lucky.. I was just pointing out that I was there once too, and got away clean.

Looks like the tow truck and a Swift Formula Atlantic race car were taken.

I don't think there's much of a racket for stolen formula cars or their parts, hopefully whoever took it has no idea what to do with it and will ditch it...
