I know it's a long shot, but if anyone has any pics of this car, I would greatly appreciate seeing them.
I've been able to confirm the car ran at Mosport in 2003 and Daytona in 2004, as well as an ALMS support race at Mosport in 2004 (an Ontario Regional Race) but there's not much to be found using Google.

Does Mark Windecker have anything?
And I'll see if we have any images in our files.
I didn't see any photos of that car on our server. Who ran it back then?
Rotary Rocket Racing, Gates and Chen drivers.
In reply to David S. Wallens :
It was also run as Paragon Competition. Drivers that I know of were Brent Gates, Joe Chan and Michael Soong.
Was wondering if the Jordans hadn't built it. (I think they ran a P5, right?)
In reply to David S. Wallens :
I haven't been able to confirm, but I believe what is now Paragon Competition built the car here in Ontario. I've reached out to them but haven't heard back yet.
And the P5 built by the Jordans might have been for World Challenge, now that I think about it.
In reply to David S. Wallens :
I did see a P5 raced by Roger Foo in the World Challenge race at Mosport in 2002. It's the only other P5 racer I've seen in person.
I did get confirmation that Paragon built my car from a new tub right off the assembly line. It doesn't even have a VIN.

Roger Foo drove the Jordans' car, right?
In reply to David S. Wallens :
A quick search does seem to indicate that.

That is really cool that your car has a bit of race history.
In reply to Tom1200 :
One of the reasons I bought this car is because I remember watching it race at Mosport in support of the ALMS in 2004, the first time I went there by myself. I took a couple of pictures of it on track, but had I known, I would've taken more.
