Interesting that this thread starts with a video of the 1966 Le Mans 24 hrs. I had just gotten out of 8th grade and I remember trying to find some news that year of how the Fords were doing at the 24 Hrs. If I remember right, ABC Wide World of Sports had some coverage between things like Golf and Demo Derbies from Islip Speedway or some such stuff. And if I was lucky I could find a small paragraph buried in the sports pages of the Sunday Chicago Tribune. Othere than that bit of news available from those sources, I had to wait for Road and Track and Car and Driver .

In addition to delivering newspapers, I also was mowing lawns in the neighborhood for about $2.00 per. Big lawns in the suburbs. One was a Doctor who lived on the other side of town. Which was pretty cool cause most times the Docs wife would give me a ride there and back home in a red Corvette or a new T-Bird. With Air Conditioning ! Really nice !
