[13] David Hobbs was brought into the team for the next round, held at Edmonton; a water leak after just one lap forced him to retire.
[16] Lee Roy Yarbrough took the wheel of the G7A at Road Atlanta, but he too suffered an engine failure, this time after 22 laps;[17] even though a new 496 cu in (8,128 cc) V8 had been installed.
