Re the Budweiser Sports Racer, it is a Spyder (I believe converted from a Lola T332 at the time when many F5000 cars were reinvented as Can Am cars) and driven a number of times in 1979 by Keke. (It was also driven once that year by Depailler.) I love that car. (no doubt obvious from the photos in the album online!)
If you scroll down this list of Keke's races entered to 1979 you will see it features frequently

Chatting to the current owner he was telling me he was invited and took the car to Monterey Historics at Laguna Seca for Keke to be reunited with the car for a drive. Cannot remember the year he did that
Sadly no Anglias present.... although dr.bob and I did discuss them at one point. Escorts also surprisingly as there are usually a number of them running at this meeting. There was one I saw competing but perhaps only in regularity..
