The cars that went to the USA were eligible for BSR and raced in SCCA Nationals. Pete Harrison (Atlanta, GA) won the Run-Offs that year in one and Mike Hall (Chicago, IL) also raced one in Central Division. I don't know where the third one went. Hall retained his for 1973 and then got a T294 - which may have been his T290 upgraded.

HU27 was Carl Thompson's 1975 and 1976 car ('76 Run-Offs winner) which then went to Warren Purdy for the new Can-Am. Thompson was from Wilmington, DE. Another of the US cars, HU34, went to Dave Johnson for 1976 but again we haven't figured out its first owner. The third, HU28, has vanished (for now).
