Eric Haga from Seattle is currently restoring his old Lola T190. Here is what he said in an email to me today:

"...The Lola has taken my time and I have to stick with it in an effort to have it ready for the April SOVERN race, which is mandatory for novices. I have started a web site on the history of my car, chassis #T190/F1/8. See www.lolat190.com <http://www.lolat190.com> Right now I am recapping the 1970 season, and as time goes by I will follow it through to present..."

In the website, he mentions Larry Webb as crew chief when Eric originally raced the car.

What an impeccable restoration! It must feel great to be reunited with your own car after all those years!

Yes, it's certainly a remarkable restoration.

Funny you should post that particular photo... it shows Eric leading three other car's we've recently featured in detailed articles:

Mike Knittel's Chinook Mk12 (1970)


Paul Dudiak's McKee Mk12c (1969)


Ron Goldleaf's WRE Shadow (1968)

The boys as they say at Elkhart Lake for the F-5000 event.

British V8, I would just like to say your articles on the F-5000 cars are superb. I have sent the one on the Wadsworth Shadow on to Tony Settember and Rex Ramsey and they both enjoyed your work.

Fully agreed Jerry, truly fantastic. Can't wait for British V8's next article.
