Ginther, and his ace mechanic Harold Broughton, built three car's taking their knowledge from their C production 914-6’s raced by Elliott Forbes Robinson and Alan Johnson. One for Robert "the Giant Killer" Kriby, one sent to Garretson Enterprises for Dwight Mitchel, and the works car for EFR. As a result of the project Elliott Forbes-Robinson got his first paid ride of his hall of fame career. EFR won almost all the races entered to qualify for the run-offs 7 wins, 8 poles, 5 track records, and 1 DNF leading all there races he entered.
