Well in short.......Bill Bastian (owner of Race Inc) fell short on some RA-10 orders for Europe and he used some PK frames to fill those orders. They should have been RI frames, remember PK's were built at the RI factory at this time. Anyway, Scott obviously found out and took Bill and RI to court and as a result RI went out of business.
