Thanks Tom. Just a wonderful video of an American icon and a visionary. A true representation of what America used to be.

Tom, thank you very much for posting that interview of the real man. All of the stuff that came after he retired is fluff and it is really great to look at the purity of the road racing environment at the time he got into it for real. His resume is the stuff kids (older kids like some of us who had the Mechanics Illustrated Test Drive of a red cobra on the wall when we were in high school) dream of ... still. He drove for Ferrari .. 19 wins in a row. Then with Aston Martin, Maserrati. Hooked up with Ford before there WAS a Ford Racing...before the "secretary's car" (Mustang) was birthed by his buddy, Lee Iacocca. Thanks for putting a little perspective on the man! He lived in an era that will never be repeated.
