For the first time an unrestricted or Sports Racing class with big engines is allowed. Ferrari stomps his foot and withdraws factory support and forbids NART to enter a car. A huge rainstorm, Shelby comes loaded with Daytona Coupes and 2 GT-40’s. Ferrari is unofficially here to outlast them all and win but a tall, thin, brilliant engineer from Texas hands them all a piece of Humble Pie and wins in a Chaparral. We have so many photos they are posted mainly by car number. Don’t miss the second page where we have a series of photos where Ed Leslie gets tagged at the start in his Cobra Daytona coupe, then feels the heat and the car catches fire. At the same time #16 Cobra won’t start. But fortune smiled at Shelby and Bob Bondurant and Jo Schlessler won GT but were pressed by the 904 Porsches. BARC was there with Sherm Decker and Oscar Koveleski in a Cooper-Ford. They raced hard for 70 laps outlasting Phil Hill and Dan Gurney. Don Yenko’s Corvette had a wheel fly off after a stop, Rip Ripley was in a Simca Abarth that crashed. A most eventful 12 hours with heaps of photos to illuminate and entertain.
