        Jake, thanks for setting me  straight.  My mind is fogy on all this.
I did follow all this at one  time but as time passes so does the memory
chips !   The battles  between the Ferraris and GT40's stand out in my mind
though.  Were not  those Testarosas 12 cyl. boxer engines and therefore related
"somehow" to our  waterboxers ?

>>>>>>>>Hey Frank, I believe you're thinking of  Dan Gurney, who won the 24
Hours of
Le Mans with A.J. Foyt in a Ford GT40  MkIV in 1967.  Gurney is also the only
American to have won a Formula  One race in an American-made car, his  own
Eagle.<<<<<<<<
