Can't remember if it was '67 or '68 but LLoyd did run the Gene White Mongoose on dirt a couple of times that year. The first was either Nazareth (or Syracuse??) with the turbo-Offy. He made the show and, if I remember correctly, was running 4th at one point but didn't finish the race. He also tried to make the show at the Hoosier 100 that year with the DOHC Ford in it but, failed to qualify...
