Yes I do, I posted a while back ago the information on that car bing for sale. Itgave all the drivers names and car color at different races.

I remember one being "Something Mandala, and possible Jim Cook, whom finised 5th at the 1980 24Hrs of Daytona.

but I canot be sure, you will need to wait till Tuesday when I return to work, where I have all that information.

Sorry I could not be of more help.

You mean that chick wasn't the driver?

She's got a helmet!

OK, I looked it up. Jim Cook drove it at Luguna Seca in 1976.

Jeff, as you know this ad is out from the Road & Track, Oct 1976
so it might be easier to find the whole magazine, than the ad alone (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

This is a picture of the car but was not taken at the race. I was at the race that year. Cold as SHIT! Sleep in a tent!

I have pics that I took but the scanner is down.

IIRC, Bill Koll's #62 car was built by Denny Kegel in San Diego.
i was there then, and remember the car...
