Loyed Woodland receiving the spoils for his class win at Indy. Included is a picture of Loyed taken from the GMO Club website at their show a few years ago. Loyed re-aquired his 66 racecar and is in the process of restoring it.

 

The Big man himself. This was my favorite rail of his, even though it cost him dearly.

‘’We loaded the car up on the trailer to take, what we were sure was, a very competitive car to Santa Pod, and unfortunately, shortly after setting off, the trailer came adrift from the tow car. The result being the trailer crossed two lanes of oncoming traffic before embedding itself in the side of an AA hut at the Banstead cross roads.The car was never rebuilt, although I believe the engine
possibly still exists in the corner of a shed somewhere.’’
