cool - thanks for the background... Yeah, the Parnelli was a good car - pretty much a converted F-1 car like the M-24 McLaren and Penske PC-6... When you consider it debuted in 1976, it had a long shelf life....

Foyt was offered the car and the rest is history. Carl Hungness listed one car as a new built 1980 car but don't know if that's correct.

I want to say David Besnard in a Reynard at Surfer's 2004 but is that PKVracing logo supposed to be there? Did KK somehow "help" Besnard to that ride?
Besnard tested for PKV earlier that summer and then KK put him in the Walker car. Nice move since it set way for Team Australia the following year.
You are Correct Civic. :up:Quote:

Your Turn.
Sorry it's small but I had to crop out the other cars.

Wrong year.
sorry, they didn't do Laguna in 2002, so then it would be 2001.
