After months of hard work, Eric Stambaugh single handedly finished the clone "Royal Bobcat" in an undisclosed location!  The trick poncho came out of the gate screaming, winning 2nd place at the GTO Nationals and placing 12th out of well over 100 cars at the Pontiac Nationals with Eric at the helm.  Not bad for a non-electronic 4-speed car!  Great Job Eric.
