For someone who spend the mid 60s in Europe following the Cobras and GT40s and hearing the roar of those big V8's in contrast to the European sewing machines... this is difficult to accept....

At the Targa in 1964 you could hear a American V8 coming for miles and the Italians would wet themselves in excitement....

It would make your hair stand on end to hear a GT40 at full song at LeMans..

I feel very lucky to have been around for those days and the Trans Am and the Can Am...

I remember when Gurney ran for President....and now he is 85....
