Amazing cars , I used to live in the flat above Haslemere Sports Cars in Camelsdale where the late John Foulston's cars were prepared.. Lola T70, Mclaren M8 (D I think) amongst others...... Not the worst noise to wake one up on a Sunday morning.

Mmmmm, Porsche 917, Lola T70...
*sigh*, (stares into distance, wistful expression on face).

Yep, those were really intersting races.
I lived in Las Vegas at the time, when the Stardust Raceway still existed.
Anyone else remember Jim Hall and the Chaparrals (with the huge fan in the center to create strong downdraft)? Essentially extremely fast vacuum cleaners they were.
