The only black car i remember Jeff Bloom driving was Lyle Roberts roadster #47 winner of 1977 little 5 (DUKE COOK also drove the roberts roadster at one time ) Bloom also drove Lyles black 8" offset sprint car in the 1987 little 5 that car was destroyed in the 50 lapper the week before 1988 little 5 I had to get DUKES name in there

any photos of bloom in lyle roberts car would be great to see THANKS lyle grandson doug 47

Do you happen to know where the roadster is now and how owns it.

If you mean the Roberts roadster, it was restored to it's original state, an early 60's Indy car:


There's even a Facebook group for the car

The roadster I was interested in was the one Gary Schlafer ran in the little 500.

i do believe it went to florida , i think harold wirtges ( a and b mini storage ) bought it , larry brazil , stan butler , jim childers, im sure ive missed some names drove it with tbra at the time. a guy by the name of steve beach had it, as of 1993 last i knew , interperter 66 may be able to get hold of him and see if hes still got it , the car in the pictures has a big block in it , the one in fla is small block , but it also had the laid over motor and 180' degrees headers
