Getting back to Ken Miles, I heard some years ago the the cause of the wreck was the rear body of the 'J' car had a tendency to lift the rear wheels off the ground at high speed, which led to the redesigned rear as we now know it. I would not be surprised if Ford tried to cover up the cause of the crash. As the whole story unfolds, we see the ruthless behavior of Henry Ford II and his corporate bad boys. Carroll Shelby shines in this book.
On a lighter note, I think Tom Waites should play Shelby in the movie.
