He didn't do all the driving--director skrewed him one morning by giving him the wrong call time and having a stunt driver do some of it because some production folks saw some rushes and got a little nervous about their star... The missed turn and rear axle hopping in reverse was all his--he wanted to do it over, but they decided to keep it--he was evidently a bit embarrassed about it--always wanted to impress the real racers. His son did a thing on History--talked about getting to "drive" the 917 on his dad's lap at the end of a day's shooting--got to drive the same car later. Canepa of Canepa Design in Santa Cruz (hopped up Suburbans, etc.) now owns it--bought it from the guy who who bought it at Pebble Beach. I got to see it when I was talking to them about a supercharged Tahoe for Cheerleader (she killed that idea).

When it comes to McQueen, I'm like the guy in the milk commercial who couldn't say "Aaron Burr"--I've got books, copies of films, etc.--wear my Heuer Monaco at least once a week.
