Tom Kocanda.
They sold it soon after this race.
Bought an Arrow from Alban Gauthier.
He bought Sox and Martin Omni/Charger.

Colt went to Bob Cope, Medford OR.

No.
Reed had the Hemi match race Omni.
He had to sell his shop and almost all his cars.
Steve Stako? has the Omni now.

Thanks Stan!

Reed was a really interesting guy. Met him a few times when I was out at Mike's.

Told you wrong Denis
Reed did have the Logghe chassis Colt.
They were poor handling cars.
He sold it as well.

Here is another video that surfaced this week.
Another qualifying run from the Indy Nationals in 1980.
In this pass Donn Patrick is running against the Ex World Champion Bob Glidden's car, a 1979 Arrow.
Paul Gentilozzi owned the Arrow at this point.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

I wish the Colt was faster!

What times would they have been running in that 1980 era?

That's movin' for a car like that. Charles hit low 130s and 9.90s or so before the crash.
