Shelby worked with Toyota for a short time Those Toyotas were quite competitive in SCCA racing in '68. Drivers Scooter Patrick and Davey Jordan went on to grand things elsewhere. Scooter raced offroad with Jim Garner and also co-drove the AIR Lola T70 Coupe to 2nd at Daytona in '69. Dave went on to drive GTP cars. The SCCA competition for these cars included the Factory Porsche team lead by F1 Ace, Richie Ginther, with drivers Alan Johnson and Elliot Forbes-Robinson. EFR went on to drive the Nissan IMSA GTP cars with Jeff Brabham to dominate over Porsche 962s. Alan Johnson became a driving instructor and wrote and excellent book on driving race cars. Tough competition and we were proud to beat them all with our Tiger driven by Ron Dykes in the pouring rain at Riverside, in spite of the Tiger having been seriously de-fanged by SCCA for that year with the engine downgraded to a base model 260 2bbl with the small port heads, iron manifold, narrow 13" wheels, weight added in, and other downgrades. The Honda S800 pseudo Cobra is genius. I love it. Even if it would handle like a brick in reality.
