Ford GTs, Cobra roadsters, Cobra Daytona coupes, Mustangs, Lotus Fords, Lola Fords, Beach Fords, Ginetta Fords, Cooper Fords and lots of other marques/motors competed in an epic race with a wet finish...........

Ironically in my case:
Finishing 4th OA and 1st in GT 5.0 was my former boss, Bob Bondurant in a Shelby Cobra Daytona coupe, a car he actually kept until he sold it just before moving his driving school to Sears Point in late 1973.
Finishing 13th OA/3rd GT 5.0 in another Team Shelby coupe was Ed Leslie, who drove my Lola T70 in 3 Can-Ams in 1968. I later sold that Lola in early 1973 and bought the Brabham BT 40 that I won the race with at Laguna Seca that got me the job with Bob Bondurant at Sears Point in late 1973.
And this 14 page photo album/article from Sports Car Digest begins with such (strange now, but typical of then) sights as this shot of 2 Shelby Ford GTs being driven to/from tech inspection (at the local firehouse) on public roads............
