1970-05-24. Ed was leading on L198 when the engine began to starve of fuel. The necessary pit-stop cost him the lead and he finished 3rd. It turned out that there was enough fuel remaining in the tank, but somehow a paper playing card had got into the tank and was blocking the fuel pick-up.

1970 – Lebanon Valley. The chassis of this car was originally the Bob Judkins 2x coupe driven to numerous victories by Ed in 1967-68. In 1970 Bob sold it to Tiny Lombard, who, as shown here, cut larger windows out of the body. Photo by Mike Anop.
