John Klug was an enthusiastic racecar entrant, having had Dan Gurney race a King Cobra for him in 1964. He bought this T70 and had several well known drivers race it for him. The car had large streamlined air-intakes over its side-draught Weber carburetors, as did the Buck Fulp and Roger Penske T70’s. The "Pacesetter Homes" Lola, racing in the USRRC and Can Am series was driven by Roger McKluskey, Bob Bondurant and Rick Muther.

This was also the "Lancer Lola" that Skip Hudson raced in 1966.

In 1967, this T70 was crashed at Riverside whilst giving rides when driven by mechanic Roy Campbell, after the steering wheel was seized by a passenger. Burnt out, it was buried in Rubidoux dump, CA.
