That looks to be a Mk 11 or thereabout. They used that rear fender design for quite a few years, but the nose is pretty unique. Not sure what the factory called it, always reminded me of a shark for some reason. Can't say for sure, but I'm gonna guess a Ford lump.
Any idea how they did? Usually pretty quick in the technical "twisty" bits but not that flat-out fast.
JD, you do know your Mallock's. The race program has this one as a 1972 Mark 11B. Motor is 1600cc Ford and it has a 'non-original" solid rear axle. IIRC, this may have been the first race outing for the new owner/driver and he wasn't pressing it in a fast crowd of FF's and smallbore Sportracers on a wet and greasey track. I didn't get to see him run, though. Tomorrow's weather looks to be better.

In keeping with your theme, note the script on the scuttle in the picture below. Seems B.S. Levy is there this weekend and a lot of cars were sporting "The Last Open Road" decals, but this is the only car I saw whose decal referenced book 3 of the Buddy Palumbo series
I really liked the Mallock, though. It has a...well... purposeful look.
For those that follow Buddy Palumbo and friends, BS says the final book of the series (
The 200mph Steamroller!,
Book 2) will be ready by
this Christmas.
As a side note, BS was selling/autographing books just 10' away from where Johnny Rutherford was autographing posters
