That was almost a half century ago, different era, things have changed.
As they say, that was then, this is now.  In the contemporary racing landscape, with competition for the sponsorship dollar, and viewership as tight as it is, if Ford wants to go racing in a series, the sanctioning body will make it happen.

Speaking of the GT40's, at last weekends Ault Park Concours here in Cincy, they had three original GT40's on display, including the '66 LM 2nd place car of Ken Miles & Denny Hulme on loan courtesy of the IMS museum.

Ahhh...you mean the actual winners of the race. They were robbed.

I stand corrected, it was the 3rd place Bucknum-Dick Hutcherson Holman Moody car, not the Miles-Hulme machine.  Whoops!
Too many IPA's after the ride on the Ninja this afternoon.

Had the last hour recorded as I was working today. Although my twat of a brother messaged me about it before I'd seen it and ruined it I have to say,what a stinger for Toyota. Ran the perfect race to be let down that close to the line. That's racing though.
