Jack Douglass sponsored racecar

[NoYenko]

Here is an old picture I found of a 1968 Lola that Jack Douglass sponsored in 1968. Driver was Fred Pipin. I think they worked together from 1967-1969 but I believe they bought the Lola after the runoffs. Other notable drivers at the 1968 June Sprints Don Yenko/Corvette,Michael Rahal/Elva Porsche,His son Bobby still has this car,John Weinberger/906 Porsche, John Martino/Alfa Romeo,Dick Roe/Yenko Camaro,Ron McConkey Yenko Stinger.I thought it was interesting because three of these guys are my customers and I didn't know they raced together 44 years ago.

Bill I emailed John saying I thought he would be too young and got this reply (Yes it was me,I was racing in 66. Won my class in 67 or 68 June sprints. I am so old I do not remember which. Lol.)He has a great sense of humor. George
