Patrick Tambay in Teddy Yip’s Lola at Riverside in 1976.

Got either the wing or the nose from the sister car in place. Another thing you don’t often see.

George Follmer 1969

A lot of our newer fans may not know that Follmer made 20 starts in Cup races. He was Bud Moore's driver at the start of the 1974 season, but was fired after 12 starts, despite decent numbers. He had 5 top six finishes, but the engine blew in 4 races and the car had 2 other mechanical DNF's. Perhaps rightly so, Follmer thought he didn't get a fair shot at it, and was quite bitter about it for some time. Bud Moore was a great man, but also a VERY tough man to work for.
