Absolutely loved the retelling of this story. My favorite car of all time. I was at Road America for all the races of those days. Loved that the Cobras kicked the corvettes ass. I also love almost everything Peter Brock has done. By the way Ross’s Slot car was probably a Monogram car. I have one, along with a Cobra roadster. I race them every week at Road America North west, my track ( and my RUclips channel). Loved the whole episode. Come race with me! Mike M.
Can confirm: When Pro teams come slum it at club weekends for testing time, they have to drive the golf cart back to the grass paddock to borrow a welder. If any of these tales of magic and backyard engineering make you wish you could be a part of it, get involved with club racing. Ferrari won't be there, but it sure gives you that feeling where you haven't felt more alive. It's a lot of work, but way less work than being on the Pro side of things.
I stayed for the whole thing! The story of the Daytona is the story of champions, not just of victory. Thank you so much
I vote keep it up with the 2 hour episodes
The story is just amazing. thank you guys for covering it. The whole era and everyone involved in it needs to be glorified.

Great show. I had no idea that Brock faced so many headwinds. Excellent story telling, guys.
I've heard/read this story a few times and love it every single time. Great job :)
Stayed the whole time. I've seen the Specter car, which i thin is the prototype, run at the Simeone Museum. It's a beast. Thanks!
Shelby still has his name on the best chili kit made.
