    Racing Record

    The #66 Echidna has amassed 16 class wins, 10 overall victories, and many podiums with Steers behind the wheel, campaigning continuously for the last 25 years with race groups including SVRA, VDCA, VSCDA, CVAR, and CSRG.

    The car has raced at the Monterey Historic, Watkins Glen, Mid-Ohio, Road Atlanta, VIR, Sonoma, Thunderhill, Laguna Seca, Goodwood, many Road America events and more. The Echidna has won twice at Indianapolis, including at the 2015 Vintage Indy SVRA races featuring Corvette. It has captured two Vintage Racing National Championships at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.

    Steve and the Echidna were invited to, and raced at, both the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and the Goodwood Revival in 2004 and 2008. The Echidna is a fantastic entry for the Sussex Trophy Race for World Championship Sports Cars from 1955-1960. This one hour, two driver, spectacular race into the sunset kicks off the festivities at Goodwood. So not only can you race the Echidna is this fabulous race, you can also share this experience of a lifetime with a friend.

    This Echidna has also made the list of finalists for the Best Vintage Racing Photo worldwide in 2013, and all three Echidnas were featured at Road America’s 60th anniversary in 2019. The Echidna trio, which have been competing at Road America since it opened its gates, were toured around the course while the announcer broadcast the 60-year history of racing at the track. The Greirson family was also in attendance, and honored for their contribution to the decades of great sports car racing at Road America.

    Echidna #66 is currently located in Texas, and comes with its build history, three SVRA log books, race history binders, 2004 issued FIA papers, and spares.
