ford.I quit racing 1989 and the car just sat until 1999. I finally
returned to racing by attending a SCCA driver's school, getting my competition
license reinstated, and have thus far managed a couple of second place
finishes in the four races I have competed in this year.
( Just as a note, I didn't rebuild the engine when I brought the car
out of moth balls. It is the same as it was when I parked it in 1989!)
Special thanks to Mr. Larry Richards for all his help with bringing the car back to life. Larry builds and races Dwarf Cars. He has his own webpage if you would like to view a Dwarf Car and see his web page, please click on the photo below, or Larry's name in the text above.

Pictures from my "Return to Racing" 1999
Here I am, 50 years old and still playing with race cars.
I managed to break the nose in my 1999 driver's school.
This is the first nose I ever broke in ten years of racing.
( Breaking the nose was not a big deal, what was a
big deal was ruining
the LOLA decal as they are almost impossible to find
now. )
