    Wayne Sparling was an incredibly talented mechanic and fabricator who worked with NART during that time period. We became firends in the early 1990s while he and Chinetti Jr. were litigating over the ownership of several cars.

    Here are two Wayne Sparling photos. First is with the NART 312P at Daytona. Wayne is fiddling with the Drivers door. My teacher and Mentor, Nereo Iori standing nereby.
    The second is Wayne's 275 LM at Sebring SVRA races in 1985. Wayne built the car from the ground up. I was able to help him locate several parts for the project. His Screen name on FCHAT was "Ditchdigger"

    512 S 1014. Gurney/Parsons. Daytona 1970. DNF. Sparling had fit a roll cage of sorts made from exhaust tubing and some Carter fuel pumps as well as seat belts that had been taken from Dick Fritz' rented Mercury Cougar.

    I stand corrected, yes you are right. I believe it’s the Dan Gurney drove. Notice the elevated roof panel.
    I have a collection of Wayne and Iori working on the 312P and somehow this photo was misfiled, good catch
