Ego and racing are inextricably linked=E2=80=94and they don=E2=80=99t honor=
the divides of
racing series and regulatory bodies, either. Case in point: the Questor
Grand Prix held at Ontario Speedway in California, a shoot-out of sorts
between Formula 1 and Formula 5000 cars of the era. R.W. =E2=80=9CKas=E2=80=
=9D Kastner=E2=80=94he
of Team Nissan GTP fame=E2=80=94bought this Lola T192 from Chicago-area dis=
tributor
Carl Hass, but before he managed to put an engine in the rolling chassis,
Hass was back on the phone. Would Kastner loan Hass the car so that Al
Unser could challenge the F5000 boys in California? On the condition that
Hass supplied and installed the engine (and left it in the car when Unser
was done with the race), Kastner said yes.
Cameron Neveu
Unser didn=E2=80=99t perform very well at Ontario Speedway, but the 1400-po=
und,
monocoque racer and its Weber-crowned Chevy 305 have earned its current
owner, Mead Korwin, plenty of on-track grins. Leaning back in a folding
camping chair, wearing Columbia boots and a denim short-sleeve shirt,
Korwin pronounces it: =E2=80=9CRemarkably forgiving. It really is. It=E2=80=
=99s all torque=E2=80=A6
It kinda grunts its way out of the corner, you don=E2=80=99t really have to=
rev it.
=E2=80=9CDonohue called this model one of the best natural-handling race ca=
rs he
ever drove.=E2=80=9D
