This
1991
March
86A
was
purchased
new
by
Salt
Walther
and
competed
in
two
races
of
the
1991
Indy
Lights
season
before
it
was
subsequently
acquired
by
Dr.
Jack
Miller.
Miller
reportedly
ran
one
race
with
the
car
in
1992,
and
later
ran
a
full
season
of
Indy
Lights
B-Series
in
1993,
winning
the
championship.
The
car
was
then
sold
to
Haas
and
used
as
a
display
with
their
current
livery.
After
this,
the
car
was
sold
to
the
owner
of
Harrah’s
Casino,
where
it
was
displayed
as
a
roller
until
2010
when
the
previous
owner
acquired
it
and
began
to
refurbish
the
car.
The
current
owner
has
completed
the
restoration
and
returned
it
to
running
condition.
Power
is
provided
by
a
4.2L
Buick-derived
V6
built
by
George’s
Speed
Shop
paired
with
a
rebuilt
5-speed
Hewland
FGB
transaxle.
This
March
is
now
offered
with
a
dyno
sheet
from
the
recent
engine
build
and
a
Florida
bill
of
sale.
The
Indy
Lights
B
Series
was
only
run
in
1993
and
allowed
competitors
to
run
the
previous
March-chassis
cars
alongside
the
updated
Lola’s
introduced
for
the
1993
season.
The
bodywork
is
finished
in
red
and
carries
a
period
Budweiser
and
Harrah’s
paint
scheme
with
additional
graphics
from
Valvoline,
Bosch,
PPG,
Buick,
and
Goodyear.
The
multi-piece
centerlock
wheels
are
fitted
with
Hoosier
slicks.
The
single-seat
cockpit
features
a
fixed
seat
pad,
6-point
harnesses,
a
removable
steering
wheel,
set
of
analog
instrumentation
and
a
new
fire
bottle.
The
4.2-liter
V6
was
derived
from
a
production
Buick
engine
and
is
equipped
with
individual
throttle
bodies
with
velocity
stacks
exiting
through
the
rear
clamshell.
This
example
has
been
rebuilt
by
Dayton,
Ohio-based
George’s
Speed
Shop,
the
original
engine
builder
for
Indy
Lights.
A
February
2019
dyno
sheet
shows
that
the
engine
produced
429
horsepower
at
7,000
rpm.
The
engine
was
run
four
hours
and
then
refreshed
by
Fellner
Motorsports
December
2020
and
has
participated
in
six
20-minute
test
sessions
and
four
25-Minute
sessions
at
Brian
Redman’s
Targa
66.
The
engine
has
less
than
200
miles
and
the
engine
is
good
for
2000
miles
before
refresh
and
4000
miles
for
full
rebuild.
Power
is
sent
to
the
rear
wheels
via
a
rebuilt
5-speed
Hewland
FGB
transaxle.
The
car
is
equipped
with
pushrod-actuated
suspension,
which
have
been
crack
tested,
and
is
fitted
with
dyno-tested
shock
absorbers.
The
Hewland
FGB
gear
box
was
fully
rebuilt
in
Jan
2019
and
is
currently
having
a
new
gear
set
installed
for
2nd
through
5th
to
stretch
out
the
gears
for
drivability.
A
Buick
OBD-I
scanner
is
included,
and
extra
wheels
and
tires,
dyno
sheets
for
the
rebuilt
shocks,
and
a
flow
chart
for
the
rebuilt
injectors
are
also
included.
Car
is
extremely
fast
and
reliable.
