It would make your hair stand on end to hear a GT40 at full song at LeMans..
I feel very lucky to have been around for those days and the Trans Am and the Can Am...
I remember when Gurney ran for President....and now he is 85....

Those are great memories that no one can take from you. Wish I was there as well. Yes, there is nothing like an American V8 screaming on the track! BTW, I also LOVED CanAM!! Good times.
