Jeremy Jackson should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Bob Bondurant's 1970 T160 was owned by Jerry Smith, and was the car used in 1969 by Chuck Parsons, according to Pete Lyons Autosport reports from 1970.

Chassis 4 was for sale a couple of years ago, the accompanying photo showed the car in front of a transporter with "Eagle Industries Racing Division" logos, and the car carrying a race number 44, but as Charles as found out now, there was no race history given.

As a bit of a long-shot, if the car has been restored to "period" livery, Jerry Hansen used race number 44 very often, and apparently had a T160, which he swapped with Fred Baker for an M6B in 1969. Hansen contested a lot of SCCA races, so maybe he used this 160 in those events. I've seen nothing on Hansen driving a T160 in the CanAm, only a T165 in 1970 - These followed the T160 chassis numbering, roughly in the range 22-25.
