Lola T190
I thought I'd start this thread with a photo...
This is Ron Grable's T-190 at the 1970 Dallas International Motor Speedway (DIMS) inaugural event. It was about 140 degrees F. in the shade, but he put this thing on pole. Race was won by Gus Hutchison in a Brabham BT-26/DFV. Gus was remarkably fit and could easily handle the heat, and the others...Grable, John Cannon's Eagle and David Hobbs' Surtees debut TS-5A all had some sort of mechanical trouble.

Eric bought these tubs from Bud Bennett last year. They were bought by Bennett from a man who had a business (re)building Lola T70s which presumably explains why the corners are missing.
