A gentleman came in today with his dad's old Hoffman box, which had a mix of 60's cars, a couple of Womps him and sister raced, at Mark Mattei's Cycle Smithy, the below shown late 70's, early 80's wing cars, and the Ulrich purple painted Lola, shown with a homemade brass, body add-on.
He said it was built for head on duels with other cars.

Love the Lola, wow demo derby races. That would be cool but probably not for track owners.
