Lotus Mk IX
text: Gary E. Anderson -- photos: Michael Plitkins (michaelp.org)
After 28 years of being hung
from the rafters in the cellar, Dave Belden has gotten his MkIX
back together. It ran approximately 35 miles (2 practice sessions)
on Friday at Limerock Ct. The ex-Len Bastrup car was sidelined
in the first session on Saturday with a ruptured oil line (burned
through the firesleeve and oil line). It was repaired in time
for the second session on Saturday. This car is still very original
with its original body work.
It was great to see out on the
track again after all these years and Dave deserves a big hand
for bringing the MkIX back after all these years.
