Hanford?

No.

The series for which car #20 was built does not take place there anymore..

[woodinsight]

I don't recognise the track you posted - maybe in use for NASCAR nowadays?

This doesn't really help that much in identifying the car though.

Will keep searching as always.....

Yes, it's still a NASCAR raceway.

[woodinsight]

Pocono?

[Allemano]

Pocono?

Correct! 

[Allemano]

I checked, but unfortunately it's still not enough to google the car.
But there's hope: it appears on the first results if you search two names, well known in USAmerican racing.

[Allemano]

Found another picture

[woodinsight]

What I've found is that #20 is a March Cosworth entered by Kraco Enterprises (Electrolux/Kraco Stereo sponsors) and driven by Michael Andretti at Pocono Raceway in the 1984 Domino's Pizza 500.
He retired with engine problems.

[Allemano]

That doesn't fit the infos I have and you're about 10 years too late.

[faksta]

If no one minds, I'd finish it. It is a Gebhardt - Offy from 1975 as driven by Mike Hiss, but failed to qualify.

P.S. But why you said it was not a circuit racing? 

[woodinsight]

Okay - I thought it was a bit too old for the year.
I'm more of a sports racing specialist and single seaters are sometimes difficult for me to identify.
Anyway, well done Faksta. That should tie up an interesting and enjoyable group puzzle.

Oh how I missed that roll-eye button..

Faksta, it was kind of a joke, due to it's triangular shape. Of course it is a circuit and strictly speaking I never did object:

(...) Somewhere else' may also mean 'not in circuit racing', or not?

This car is related to a race track which is not circular, at all..(...)

By the way: the name "Gebhardt" is wrong.

I'm glad you liked it!

[faksta]

Gebhardt is wrong because it is a Gerhardt 

[Allemano]

Right!
Well done gentlemen!
So, after seven interisting pages I can lay this to rest.
