Notes on the cars:

  1. Ralt RT1/77 [81] (Brian McLoughlin): This car would have been new as a Formula Atlantic in 1977, but its first owners in 1977, 1978 and 1979 are unknown. The first definitive reference to this car is when it was sold by Ted Titmas to Brian McLaughlin (Vancouver, BC), and raced by McLaughlin in ICSCC and Pro Formula Atlantic in 1980 and 1981. It was wrecked by McLoughlin at Westwood and later advertised by Sans Thompson in unrepaired state. Thompson's recollection is that he sold it to the northeast US. CT
