In any case, with both West and Lee Stohr cars evolving past the point where
the partners broke up, the designs are definitely deviating from each other
now and show the results of each company's individual talents. The West
version might just be the better of the 2 in the end. I wish them both the
best of luck.

Chris, to be fair, I believe that Lee was the one to split off from his
partners to form his own company and West (his old partners) is now doing
their own original development to possibily surpass even Lee's current
efforts.
