This car was followed by a succession of Porsches, and Gregg, now a Porsche dealer, is under contract to drive these cars in endurance races. Last year he campaigned a Lola in the Can Am series, but the car was badly damaged in a crash during practice for the first race. In this accident Gregg suffered the only serious injuries of his career, a dislocated toe and a cracked shoulder. The car was not repaired until near the end of the season, and Peter has since given up Can Am racing...
YVONNE DE CARLO. She played Lola Montez, Calamity Jane, Salome and Moses' wife. She was the Flame of the Islands, the Buccaneer's Girl, the River Lady, the Scarlet Angel and the Captain's Paradise.

Executing a neat passing maneuver on the 31st lap, he gunned by Stewart's blue Tyrrell-Ford and won going away. The second heat was more of the same as Andretti bested Stewart by a 12.3-sec. margin. After accepting his $39,400 winner's prize, Andretti suggested that the U.S. Formula A team could take some consolation from...
