Early LOTUS type 51. I
drove all the major east cost tracks in this car - Bridgehampton, Watkins Glen, Nelson
Ledges, Bryar, Lime Rock, Pocono. This picture is at Bryar (Laconia, N.H.) where we heard
an excellent Doc Watson concert over in Putney, VT |
| A Lola T-142 (I think it was ) with custom body and
suspension carrying a Honda CBX motorcycle engine (2nd in division 1982). This car ran the
last ever race (the "last chance Grand Prix") at Continental Divide Raceway,
Castle Rock, CO. I taught the SCCA driver's school held there. |

Sports Racer c. 1975, Lake Afton KS Nationals.I believe this was the first real Honda
Civic powered race car in the US, built in 1974 from an earlier (perhaps PBS) chassis,
Legrand Wheels.Warren Body, Hewland Mk6, dell'orto carbs, 820 lbs. |
| 1974 Honda SuperCivic at 1978 Elkhart Lake June Sprints -the Bolus &
Snopes Car. At left is Gene McKnight, crew chief extraordinary...The engine dropped a
valve at 8200rpm in Canada Corner, but what a great ride... |
