"Chuck Lamb built the Animal and I met him at the Riverside race that Hooper won with the car. I think it was Corvette based, but I am not sure. Lamb disappeared from racing for many years. He later bought Bill Cuddy's McLaren M12 or M8 and built it into 'The McLaren From Hell' that Follmer raced in vintage racing up to two years ago. Follmer refused to ever drive that car again!"

"If you look at the Animal photo closely, you will see what looks to be 'Chuck Lamb'
painted on the car as the owner.  Hooper's name is taped over, suggesting that someone else is behind the wheel."
