Bonky Fernandez Lotus Elan
Car raced at Sebring in 75, 76 and 77, and had a few other IMSA runs during that time too. I don't believe Bonky Fernandez was the original entrant in 75, but he was in the later years, I think. (He later on ran the John Paul Carrera, when the Pauls moved up). The team was Puerta Rican, but I believe the car was kept and maintained in Miami area.
Anybody have any information on the specs of this car? I believe it would have been SCCA production spec during this time, C Production, but not sure if they then changed any from that. As far as I remember it ran with the low sprint windscreen, and was open with cage as per IMSA rules. I had info and photos that perished long ago in a house disaster, and would love to see a photo again and also any idea on the specs it was run under. Also curious where the car is. robert |
