Built in 1914, Lock E-13's function was to lift and lower canal boats plying the Mohawk River a total height of eight feet. The complex consists of a row of 15 vertical lift gates surrounded at its four corners by concrete machinery cabins, topped with a movable steel truss dam 370 feet in width. On the south (right) side, a narrow concrete spillway carries water past a newly reconstructed lockhouse.

2009-2011 LOLA B09/86 #16 -- Saratoga (NY) Automobile Museum February 2023 Per The Sportscar Racing News of November 30, 2017:

A Lola B09/86 prototype racer that Dyson Racing campaigned to a pair of championships in the American Le Mans Series has found a new home in the 'Racing in New York State' exhibit at the Saratoga Automobile Museum. The exhibit is a major part of the museum and honors through the display of racing cars and significant artifacts the history of motorsport in New York State.

Dyson Racing founder and CEO Rob Dyson and VP for Motorsports Chris Dyson spoke this past Saturday before more than 250 attendees as part of the day-long Lost Speedways gathering, the museum’s largest annual program.

Chris Dyson, who in 2010 drove this Lola to a historic victory in the American Le Mans Series race at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and other identical team cars to a pair of championships, spoke about the stunning performance of the car and the physical demands it makes on its drivers.

“Driving a car like this one for a single lap, much less for several hours at a time as we do in endurance sports car prototype racing, requires the highest level of fitness. You regularly experience up to 3.5 Gs in braking and cornering. For every hour behind the wheel, I spend ten hours a week in the gym working on both strength and endurance.”

Constructed by Lola Cars in Huntingdon, England, the shape of the B09/86’s body in conjunction with the rear wing and diffusers produced approximately 4,000 pounds of downforce, enabling the Lola to achieve phenomenal braking and cornering performance, and theoretically for the 1800-pound car to drive at high speed on an upside-down road.

Power came from a Mazda MZR-R aluminum-alloy, 2.0-liter turbocharged in-line four-cylinder engine. The MZR-R, which was developed by Advanced Engine Research, Ltd. of Baselton (UK) produced over 500 horsepower at turbo boost levels limited by the series rules.
