I was at the '93 Rolex 24, Miami, and Sebring rounds.
In the Rolex,while the Fangio/Wallace/Acheson engine broke at about 2/3 distance, a few hours from the end, the winning Jones/Dismore/Moran car sounded like it was running on 3 cylinders, was noticeably slower in a straight line and the Roush 'Tang was closing (but too many laps behind).
Also, they didn't "sweep" the season.....they "only" won 10 of the season's 11 races, not running at the Road America round (Joest 962s 1st & 2nd)......
