Hi,

In the first three CART races of 1979, Al Unser raced Chaparral's ancient (last year's) Lola T500, until the new ground effects Chaparral 2K debut at Indianapolis.

Does anybody have a picture of that Lola car to post here? Was the car allready painted with Pennzoil yellow?

Thanks

It could be or not since the team had more than one car in 1978.

Unfortunately I have no Hungness books :cry:
