Those dune cats with the race team logo's reminded me of the full size buggy they campaigned:
Note the name, Gil Losi.....If you were ever into R/C cars you'll recognize the name, and if your into custom cars in this day and ageyou may recognize from that. I would doubt thats a real common name, so I am assuming its Losi Sr., I remember the Team Losi R/C cars as I ran a hobby shop for awhile in the 90's.

"In the summer of 1966 I had to make-up an English class I had failed. So off to summer school I went. For a second class I took metal shop. The shop teacher brought in a mini bike that he had made and asked if anyone wanted to make one as a project (there were no plans we just copied his). I went home and asked my parents if I could make one; my folks reluctantly said yes (I don’t think they figured I could complete it).
The rest is history! Motorcycles, (with the exception of many other things) have been much of my life’s work. I started working at a Yamaha Triumph Dealership (International M/C) just out of high school in 1972. We worked on everything. No one there liked to work on Triumphs, as a result I got a lot of experience in the ten years I worked there. I’ve owned hundreds of motorcycles over the years, and having been broken many times as a result of riding and racing them, I certainly have no regrets! "
