I have vintage raced with this car several times. It is currently owned and ably raced by Larry Bowman. I was also privileged to race with the original owners and drivers Toye English and Dave Heinz in IMSA races back in the day.

Man! That's one heavy-duty chin spoiler. Looks to have a bit of wing section profile, too.
That's the way we did it "back in the day". It was very efficient because in the off season (winter) we could plow the driveway with it.
We had "aero" too.............

Yes! This is my car at SVRA Indy this year (2015). My co-driver, John Martin is on the left, I have a yellow hat, and the rest are my (long suffering) family

Yes, that is John Martin, Indycar driver from 1971 thru 1975 etc. He is close personal friends with Lynn St James so we got lots of attention whenever she came by to talk with him.
My memory is that #94 went faster with his roof in the air like that.......however, I think it was somewhat disconcerting for the driver at the time;-)
Thanks for the kind words about my old pictures. Lotsa memories there
