Anybody know the answers to these ?
When Lola completed the first batch of 12 T160s for CanAm 68, only 8 had named teams/owners:
160/1 to Bignotti for Andretti & unser #1,
160/2 Haas/Simoniz for Parsons #10,
160/3 for Surtees #7,
160/4 AAR savage #36 & gurney #48,
160/8 American Racing Motors, Florida, Brian O'Neil #15,
160/9 Haas/Simoniz for Skip Scott #26,
160/10 Autodynamics Lunger & Posey #2.
160/12 to Garner's AiR team, but seemingly not raced.
Who had 160/5, 160/6, 160/7 and 160/11?
Jack Hinkle #61 drove a 160 at SCCA Phoenix Nats 13 Oct 68; Gary Wilson drove a 160 #59 at Riverside 27 Oct68 - he didn't buy 163/19 until 1969. Four cars went to Japan for 23Nov68 Fuji race: 160/1 Unser, 160/2 Parsons, 160/10 Posey and 160/? Rodriguez. The Rodriguez car stayed in Japan, but others came back to USA.
I went to Haas way back to seek info, but he'd just moved shop from Highland Park up to Lincolnshire, and told me "Sorry, we binned all the old paperwork" - Ouch!
