Right Tom,
The Herda car was a beauty - now, to Jack Costella's information, the car is
complete restored some years ago by the today owner Dennis Varni (he lives
close to San Jose). Dennis drives the old Markley Lakester at the salt.
The Car done some great FIA records - his class 9 record from 1965 was broken
by the Hoffman & Markley streamliner in 1992, his class 10 record from Rick
White with the Autopower from the late Nolan White in 1990. This car was dam
fast for the sixties.
See ya
