No winning GT40 without CS?

Oh my, I hope this is not going to get naughty.

I am going to try and keep my powder dry and let someone else get on this bull and AlGore it.

But, surely Lola ( Eric Broadley), FORD ( Henry II, Roy Lunn, Donald Frey, Ray Geddes), Holman & Moodey, John Mecom, John Wyer, Ken, Dan, AJ, Bruce and many others must have just "assisted" CS in his personal GT40 quest of winning Le Mans? For FORD? F-O-R-D?

I mean, in addition to the pretty fair but not championship winning Chilli, the heart fund, the "discovered" 25-year-old left-over AC CSX 427(McClusky) chassis watered down to rust just right, the California Consumer Protection Agency investigation, the Series 1 build-out and quality issues, many thousands of dead chickens, the real unsold 427"SC's" at the end of 1967 which were finished in 1968 & 69 and sold as 67's...

And now the GT40's?

Gentlemen, start your engines!
