Notes on the cars:
- Ralt RT1/79 [167] (Steve Jizmagian): The very last Ralt RT1 was a red Formula Atlantic car invoiced to Ralt importer Brian Robertson, but with the date unrecorded. Steve Jizmagian (San Francisco, CA) remembers that his Ralt RT1 was delivered in September 1979 and was red, so must almost certainly have been this car. There was no other red Formula Atlantic Ralt RT1 delivered after May 1978. Raced by Jizmagian in SCCA events in 1979, starting with the Pacific Coast Road Racing Championship, where he finished second. Raced in the first three races of the Pro series in 1980, and again in the Edmonton and Westwood rounds in 1981. Jismagian crashed in the latter race, and was not seen again. Subsequent history unknown.
- 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 (Van Nuys, CA) 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]
