Absolute magic from the past! The Chaparrals and Jim Hall were my "heroes" back then. I remember reading about the race, with Hall slowing down to something like 5 mph in some places, with rain running UP his hood into the cockpit...great footage.

Older? I have to be older to remember that? The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat? 
These are great clips from Sebring, thanks for sharing Larry. |

How refreshing. They interview a driver and we don't have to listen to the product swamped responce.
Could you imagine, "yeah, the Ford, Tide, Motul, Firestone, Viagra Cobra ran great! It had a little overstear at the Home Depot, Bear Brake corner, but my Depends, Craftman's crew did a spectacular job.........."

Steve, did you have to use 'Depends" as a sponsor example in your rant? Hehehe.

Interesting how soft the suspension was 1965 - good to see at the 50 sec mark of the 3rd film clip.
Thanks for posting that.
