| History: |
HU34 sells new from Lola Cars, England to their U.S.A importer
Carl Haas, then on to the Baker Motor Company in Atlanta
Georgia. Jim Baker had a team of three Lola T212's for Pete
Harrison, Tom Fraser and Bobby Rinzler. They raced in South East
Divisional SCCA events where they scored enough points to gain
entry into the American Road Race Championship at Road Atlanta
(the National Championship). In the finale the Baker racing cars
finished 1st, 4th and 6th in BSR with Pete Harrison becoming the
national champion. The Lola continues racing in various SCCA
events and under 2 liter Can Am through the 1970's at great
tracks such as Mid-Ohio and Mosport. HU34 has a continuous
documented ownership history from 1971 to the present. There is
a comprehensive write up detailing the car's complete history by
Allen Brown of www.oldracingcars.com. It is also acknowledged by
Lola Heritage. It is then fully restored and raced in Europe at
the Silverstone Historic Festival, the Spa Masters Round, and
the CER event at Le Castellet, where the car was the class
winner. |
