Should "British V8" Move Upscale? (Lola T70 photos!!!)
British V8 2008 was deliberately scheduled back-to-back with the Kohler International Challenge at nearby Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.
Anyone who attended British V8 2008 and then didn't stay over to see vintage Can-Am cars up-close-and-personal really, profoundly messed up! Here's just one example of what you missed. (Please see the five photos below.) I didn't have time to verify the details, but I was told that this specific car is THE very "Lola T70 Mk II" (with open cockpit and Chevy motor) that Mark Donahue himself drove in Can-Am races in 1966. (Correct me if I'm wrong... but didn't Lola win five of the six races they ran in '66? I wasn't born yet...) Here's the bigger question: shouldn't British V8 edge upscale and start covering this sort of "engine swap" too? |
