John Welter 2002 Pontiac TA

This gallery contains 3 photos.
John Welter has been on the list since May 2005 and he is a former #1 position holder with his Turbocharged 2002 Pontiac TA! The details of his car / engine combo are listed below. In May of 2012 John blew a transmission line which caused oil to get under the rear tires. That resulted in a bad accident which severely damaged the car. John was fine but the car has seen better days. John is currently building a new car and hopes to have it out late summer of 2014.
