My wife was at a class last night so it was the perfect opportunity for me to turn on the subwoofer, pump up the volume and watch “Super Speedway”. 
I’ve been putting together the parts needed to do Mario’s 1964 roadster and thanks to Stu, Calvin and Michael I think I have everything it needs, so I had a good time looking closely as the car came together.
But what really peeked my interest last night in watching the movie again were the Newman Haas Lola’s featured. And that brings me to the questions that I have. Were the Lola’s shown in preseason testing 1996 cars? The camera car. What year car was that? One of the black Havoline sponsored cars had turning vanes ala Lotus 97/98T in front of the radiator intakes. Were these on Michael’s car for the 1996 season or was it just for added stability for the camera car?
Anyone have thoughts on converting a Tamiya Lola T9300 to a Lola T9600? Taking a glance at the drawings that I have for the two cars it looks like some major work on the side pods just to start with.
