John Galt Racing is replacing the non-adjustable sway bars on the 1974 2002 BMW race car with adjustable sway bars. This allows lower spring rates (to increase mechanical grip) while minimizing body roll for better stability, control, and limiting driver fatigue.

Here is a compilation of dashcam footage from John Galt Racing at the Lucky Dog Racing event at Willow Springs Raceway May 5-7, 2017.
To save space in the engine compartment, John Galt Racing upgraded the brake booster in its 1974 BMW model 2002 to a more compact design.
The above two photos are of the complete 911 Porsche Carrera motor which will be placed in the John Galt Racing Porsche 914 (in development). The 914 is being rebuilt from the ground up for racing.
The above two photos are of the backup and/or replacement motor for the existing John Galt Racing 1974 BMW model 2002. Work is still progressing on this motor although it is nearly completed and awaiting final assembly.
Once John Galt Racing started participating in the Lucky Dog Racing League events, the requirement for headlamps and back lit numbers arose. The stock 1974 BMW Model 2002 alternator could only put out 45 amps. John Galt Racing had to modify the mounting brackets to fit a modern 90 amp Bosch AL49X alternator into the car.
