    Trying to track down my Dad's (Alf Zeller's) old Sports Racer!

    Hello,

    I'm Alf Zeller's son Alex. My dad ran Mallock's, a March, and an Argo very successfully in the 70's and early 80's CSR out of the FLR-NY.

    I am trying to track down one of my Dad's old cars. One in particular was a sports racer that he and a guy by the name of Evan Macdonald built together in ~1974ish in Canada. They built two tubs Evans car was the only one to race with motorcycle power in the mid-seventies. Evan sold his car to Rick Steven's in Ontario, Canada. My dad never finished his car and eventually sold the tub and various suspension bits to someone in Rochester, NY in the early 80's for $500. My dad's car was built to be an S2000 car but I am not sure if it every was ever ran. The following three photos are the only photos I have of the TUB.

    I think Evan had problems with cooling the air cooled engine, gave up the project, and sold the car to another local (don't now the name). I would really like to get my hands on one of those cars or at the very least know where they are. So if anyone has any clues, hints, names, or anything at all they can give me that might shed some light it would be much appreciated. I can be reached at ajazeller@gmail.com.

    Regards, Alex Zeller
