Yeah, I read that.
But the USRRC started in 1963 and Chaparral were winning then and they had more wins in 1964 so the writing was on the wall long before 1965. If the car was built as stated for the 1965 USRRC it was doomed to be uncompetitive compared to the Chaparrals. That, no doubt, is why it never raced in the Series. And then in answer to the Chaparrals along came the T70's, McLarens etc towards the end of 1965.
Nice looking car and great that it's out there being raced, but not competitive in it's day.
