info I recieved from an internet forum.
"Fulp drove the car in both the Governor's Trophy race and the Nassau Trophy race in 1965. He did not finish in either race, going out on lap 3 in the Governor's Trophy and on lap 8 in the Nassau Trophy. Further information can be obtained in the forthcoming Bahamas Speed Weeks book [out in the Spring of 2006] written by Terry O'Neil and published by Veloce Publishing."
From Vince Howlett:
More on the Fulp Lola in the '65 Nassau Trophy race from "Wheelspin"..."At the end of the first lap, McLaren led, followed by Bob Bondurant in the Lola T-70 followed by John Fulp's Lola T-70, then Sharp in the older Chaparral. Charlie Hayes in a McLaren Chev was in 5th spot...Jim Hall in 6th....The first four laps had hardly gone by when the parade down pit alley started: John Fulp encountered fuel line problems..."
This photo is puzzling because the Mk2 was first purchased by Bob Bondurant 12/19/65 according to Starkey, but Bondurant drove it at Nassau 12/3/65, THEN sold it to Fulp? Either way, Fulp raced it in 1966.
I believe Fulp was the original owner of SL70/18, and Pacesetters did not run this MK2 at Nassau, I think it was their Mk1 that ran Nassau with Bondurant driving.

IF Sold to Baker Racing Team, Fred Baker
Driven at Nassau Speed Weeks Dec 1966
Driver Charlie Kolb
Unknown date but very early since the lola is blue, probably at Nassau 66 or very early 67
The Lola was raced by Baker Racing team, driver was Charlie Kolb. At Road America Fred Baker ran it in a practice session, he reports at high speeds the nose lifted so much he could not see where he was going!

He dropped a wheel off the track and the left rear tore off!
For the 1966 season, Fulp raced his new T-70 Mk2, and kept the Mk1 as a spare car.
My Mk1 was sold to Baker Racing Team (Fred Baker) Driven by Charlie Kolb at Nassau in 1966 and other races in 1967.
It was Fulp blue at Nassau, but painted Green/white some time 1966 for Baker Racing, Quaker State was the sponsor.
The car was red with the number "0" on the side when I recieved it.
Note the left rear suspension was torn off the car. I bought a 3 wheeled Lola T-70 for $600 in 1974!
