Hi Everyone
There is a WEBsite that has a great picture of Eppies Lola 332 in full colour. The WEBsite is not very flattering
Formula One Rejects but there are some good pictures of Eppie through his racing career. The T332 was sold to Interscope Racing and was crashed by Danny Ongais at Mosport turn 3 the following season. Ongais broke his leg in the crash.
Also I love the picture of Eppie in the 1966 Players 200 at Mosport. A great website with pictures and the entry form for that race is at
Racing Sports Cars - Home Page and go to international sports car races. Eppie battled the 2 Porsches that race and finally came out on top in the end. There is a great late race picture of him in front of #33 Skooter Patrick and #17 I believe was Herb Wetason (but don't hold me to that one). Nice picture of John Cordts (#57) McLaren Mk1 leading Mark Donahue (#6) in the Lola T70. The upper left has George Fejer (Chinook MkII) just peaking in. #52 is Earl Jones and #18 I believe is Bill Eve.
I remember that race like it was yesterday.
Final standings had Cordts in 5th and Eppie 6th.
