Help Identify this Lola

[dc]

I have four Lolas and have called many times. I was finally told that all records were thrown in the dumpster because they were taking up too much storage room............what a tragic loss.

That's horrendous.

Let me check with my buddy who works there to make sure they weren't just brushing you off. If they are there, he will know. If the records are there and they want to get rid of them, I will make sure they are acquired.

I also heard they were tossed when I started researching my T326. Interested to confirm.

Newman-Haas Racing is still running full steam ahead, only without an active IndyCar team. Carl's wife runs the show now, and they have ALL of their Indy team cars in their facility in Lincolnshire, Illinois stacked up like models. It's a pretty spectacular facility. They do a lot of race car prep—including pro F2000s—as well as being a first-class source for race shock building and tuning. No sign of slowing down, either.

It's possible they may have information on the car should you get closer to nailing down its origins. I'm guessing they have never gotten rid of anything there based on what I have seen.

I remember stopping by Lincolnshire for the first time to pick up some Lola parts, beautiful facility. As soon as I entered the building the F1 and Indy cars were the first things to greet me.........very cool.

I was told by Gerald Swan of Lola Heritage to contact Greg Wrysineski at Haas regarding the records and he told me they had been tossed years ago.

Completely torn down, no numbers anywhere........

Damn… was hoping to read that you'd found the lineage.

Except for the red roll over structure that looks very much like my T-328 tub.

Someone did an exceptional job fabricating that taller main hoop. It's not something with a new hoop section rosette welded or scabbed together. It is identical to the original in every way except for the height. Looks like something Pt Prince may have made and the tub looks like a replacement as well..........
