Excellent 917 link - two good videos. >>

Take a look at the videos in this one. The first You Tube video is neat but the second one is in car at Le Mans. Watch how the tail comes loose exiting Indianapolis. Now imagine doing this at night..... in the rain...... at 200+. Wow.<ul><li><a href="http://jalopnik.com/5168936/porsche-917-happy-birthday-turbopanzer">917 Story and videos</a></li></ul>

Happy birthday, now, you big bad savage thing. 246 down Mulsanne!

The video is awesome. I built a model of Mark Donahue's 917/30. THAT was racing!<ul><li><a href="http://jalopnik.com/5168936/porsche-917-happy-birthday-turbopanzer?skyline=true&s=i">Jalopnik link-</a></li></ul>
