Previous versions of this page showed a Coyote being used for two seasons in US F5000, but photographs have since proven that was a Lotus 38. The Y&B Special has also been removed from the list; although Larry Yates entered a "Y&B Special" for the Laguna Seca race in May 1971 and a "Preditor" for the same race in 1972, there is no evidence either car ever appeared.

In this web site we attempt to fully chronicle all the FA and F5000 cars from all corners of the globe. It will take time, so please help us by contributing any additional information: email Allen at allen@oldracingcars.com.
