Shelby mated the AC Bristol with the Ford 289, But Ken Miles did all the testing to make the car cross the finish line way ahead of the competition. Any one can build a race car, but not every one can make it a winner. Miles was not only a race driver, but an engineer who could tell exactly what was wrong with the car and how to fix it.
