Chris,
That IS an interesting car. Have never seen one like it either, but it looks like a 'current type' design, however, the driver does not appear to meet the rollover rules ...if it even HAS a front roll hoop. Looks really 'clean' at the rear. Anyone here know who's it is?

I'm going to take a guess that this is Eric LeCuyer at Blackhawk.

Hal A. or Dave W. might know if this is so.

That is a 1999 Lambda FV008, a homebuilt driven by Eric Lecuyer, built by his dad Jean, and rebuilt by Jean again this summer after having tangled with a FF at a June MC race at Joliets Auto Bahn North track. Went upside down big time and really trashed the car and didn't do Eric any good either. That's my picture that I unfortunately got the chance to take as I had a rear tire go flat during the Loooong Race and eventually went into a big puddle of water. Dave Westervelt went on to win the race, and good on ya, Dave!
