Not Ranked
FYI
I remember I was reading about the original race back in 1971.
One entrant was a guy who was paid to deliver a luxury car, maybe a Cadillac or Lincoln and was supposed to keep it under 60 and only drive during the day.
Another was a van filled with gas cans.
And of course Dan Gurney and co-driver who won just under 36 hours. He mentioned cruising at 100 mph through the desert. And at one time a GTO coming up along side and Dan just put his foot into it and pulled away.
Surprisingly the van finished second less than an hour later.
