A number of drivers from the original F5000 series where on hand Saturday for answering
questions and signing autographs’s. From front to rear: With his back to camera, Eric Haga

George’s massive shunt in his Lola T142 Formula A car was caught on film at St Jovite,
Québec in 1969. George told me it took 30 years before he could watch it.  Sitting next to
