John Morton sits in the BRE "Stainless Steel Carrot" Lotus at Road Atlanta in 1972. After finishing 4th in the F5000 race, the car was heavily damaged when it slid off the wet track and into a barrier, ending BRE's venture into open-wheel racing.

This photo apparently is by Stan Sholik, who had many photos in "Stainless Steel Carrot". It's from Ray Mann's "Racing Pictorial", Fall 1972
