 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona

 While living in Europe in the early '70's, I had the opportunity to go to the 24 Hours of LeMans. For me, the race was bitter sweet as going to the race was a childhood dream. At the same time, one of my racing heros lost his life there, Jo Bonnier. As for the race itself, it indeed lasts for 24-hours, long in anyone's book. Having arrived the day before the race start, I drove my Peugeot 504 around the track. As it turned out, the local Gandarmes didn't like the fact that I was out on the track. They didn't catch me until I got back to the start/finish line. I swear, down the Mulsane I got her up to a smoking indicated 98MPH. When the race started, 3 friends and I had a camp just off the track near Dunlop Bridge. It didn't take long and one could tell which car was passing by. My favorite was the Daytona's, though the booming exhaust of the Corvettes was nice to hear too. At the end, Sam Posey and Tony Adamowica were the first Americans to cross the finish line in none other that a NART Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona. A great time was had by all.
