=20
For those watching the rain delay at Sebring, here's a look back at the =
race in 1966 (hosted by the Goodwood Road Racing Club site). Lots of =
Ford GT action -- probably my favorite racecar of all time -- and a =
number of views of the Triumph team in the coverage, too.

Great racing, in a golden age for sportscars.
