On this, the thirty-fifth anniversary of the Monterey Historics, I thought it would be interesting to look back and see how it all started. The date was August 10, 1974. August 10 that year fell on a Saturday. There was no Sunday racing even though California has no “blue laws”...

I don’t have one favorite racecar; I have several: the Daytona Coupe I raced at Le Mans with Dan Gurney, the Ford GT40, the Ferrari P3, and, of course, the Ferrari Formula One. The Daytona Coupe was a one-off and I loved racing it. They only built six and only...
