Do you guys have any interest in open-wheel classes? Formula 5000, specifically? If so, you might enjoy this brand new article:
Mead Korwin's Lola T192 Formula 5000 Race Car

<span style="font-weight: bold">Triumph</span> enthusiasts might be interested to know this car originally belonged to Triumph racing great <span style="font-weight: bold">Kas Kastner</span>, and that it was campaigned throughout the 1971 Formula 5000 season by <span style="font-weight: bold">Jim Dittemore</span>, who had previously driven Triumphs for Kas in for several seasons of SCCA racing. The article includes their remembrances - I interviewed them both! - and the story of how Jimmy Dittemore became USAC's 1971 Road Racing Champion.
