The 2010 running of the Jefferson 500 vintage sports car weekend at Summit Point featured another display of beautiful race cars. But one in particular caught my eye. This 1969 Lola T70 MkIIIb epitomizes the classic styling of the prototype from a golden age of motor racing. It’s sleek design, striking color, and classic display of racing stripe/car number set it apart from the rest. If only I could drive something like this to work every day…the Washington beltway would be a breeze!

The classic design of the 1969 Lola T70 MkIIIb had the attention of everyone.

Stretching its legs....the Lola set the pace.
