Good points Cobra Lite. It wasn't lost on me that all the team Ferrari's had dropped out. OR that third place was a privateer some 25 laps behind. Kind of took the edge of a "great victory". Did they really earn it? Well yes, in the end, a win is a win. Could be from some others having bad luck, bad pitt strategy, you had a great car/driver, got lucky or just stuff happens. That's racing!
Salvadori certainly put the team in a position to win, at that point it was Shelbys race "to loose"! So what's up with Shelbys cowboy boots? We know he wore overalls through out his career. I've seen little or nothing on what he wore for shoes during the bulk of his career though. I'm curios...
