I'll bring this back to the top....saw it today and really enjoyed it.

I will be the first to admit I am not an expert on the Shelby Team from the 60s but I did feel the general content was good. I enjoyed the nostalgia of many scenes and look forward to watching it again at home where I can observe the background action.

I would like to have seen them include a little more history of the failed 64 effort prior to Shelby getting involved to show how he inherited the program and made it successful. I also would have liked more inclusion of how the Ford/Shelby relationship started with the Cobra and grew into the GT40 program.

Few items I had never read/heard and I would like to know if accurate:

1) Was Shelby on fire when driving at LeMans?

2) Is the "wrench" accurate?

3) Was Beebe locked in Shelby's office at LAX?

4) Any credibility to the Ferrari stopwatch/bolt at LeMans?

And, what happened to Miles wife and son?

Tom
