 For those of you that may not know Eric Broadly
 he was the owner of and chief designer of Lola Cars.
 Carl Hass was the US distributor and I supplied
 all the Lola Formula A suspension mounted and a lot
 of the chassis mounted slotted wings built in
 my shop in Hermosa beach to Carl Hass.

 I will probably come up with a lot of these gems
 in the near future :)

 This was taken at Riverside Ca. A race track long
 gone.

 I remember those days at RIR and especially Group 7, 65 & 66.

 I think you know John Cannon Steve, or at least met him at
 SZP. He was a friend of Klaus and stayed in my hangar a night
 or two. He owned a VariEZ. The Continental O-200 engine quit and he
 died in the crash.

 Here are some other photos that just
 showed up from neg scans. My high front wing on Ron Grable's
 car was the first of it's kind. The relatively high aspect
 lowered the induced drag unlike the silly rules limited width
 rear wings. The mechanic and entire pit crew standing next
 to Ron was known as Root Beer. I know him by no other name :)

 BTW the high mount cleared other car's tires unlike
 the chaos in Formula 1 these days. The driver could see
 under it no problem.

 The rear wing was also
 mine on this car designed and built in the U.S..
 One of the very few Formula cars to hold that honor.
 Ron qualified second that year at Mid Ohio.

 Sam Posey had the latest Surtees from the UK with
 13 inch tires and wheels and won. Most of the other
 cars were Lola's. All the suspension mounted high wings
 were built by me in Hermosa Beach. I built dozens.

 Ron Grable is also a pilot and had a Pitts at SZP for awhile.

Paul,

Good pics...I hadn't seen before.  The American car is at
Mid Ohio, and the Lola at Texas.  Root Beer's name is Tom Ratzlaff.

Ron


I'll send you higher rez versions Ron in case you want to get
them printed.

Paul Lamar
