The long tail (Langheck) 917's looked so different, almost unbalanced visually, compared to the "base" 917's.
All for the added stability and aero especially for the Mulsanne straight. As great as the 917's sound I still favor the ear splitting sound of the V12 Matra's.

YES!

Mid-America (Elkhart Lake) near Milwaukee and Mid-Ohio are close by you and these outstanding courses usually have vintage races. You just never know what might show up.

^^^ yes they do.

Here's some from the Dark-side Ferrari 1964 250SWB at Goodwood in car race, over 30 minutes, skip ahead to about 6:45 seconds for the start of the race.  I think Danny Sullivan is driving.  How to flog a multi-million dollar car with a bunch of other multi-million dollar cars.

If the sound of those cars don't put a smile on your face, or make the hair stand up on your neck your probably deaf... or as they say now hearing impaired.

Former Formula 1 driver Riccardo Patrese takes his wife for a lap on track in a street car,  watch his face, total opposite of what is going on in the other seat - hysterical
