in saying burn believe Hi John, I quite agree. All I was trying to point out is that if contact is made, and it's difficult to apportion blame, then it does have to be accepted that racing is a risk

Hi William, I know, I know..I was only 'stirring' things a bit ;-) As it is in the UK. Unless it is unavoidable. Well, I might have to argue with you on that one! And I do have to say that Stirling M

Briggs Cunningham was quoted as saying that the vintage cars should be collected but not raced. Otherwise, he cautioned, there won't any left to admire. I think he's right. Cheers, Mike

Of course, it was none other than Phil Hill in the Maserati making an (ill it turns out) charge down the inside of turn 1. I don't think he had as much fun in that race as he'd hoped to. :) - Tony

Actually, it was Stirling Moss in the 1959 Le Mans winning Aston Martin. We should all be ashamed of deriding the wrong auto racing icon. Or did Phil Hill do the same thing and I missed it? Brett Joh

The problem is that the drivers are sometimes not too careful with the irreplaceable old cars. Same goes for warbirds - for example the population of P-51s has been declining by about 5 per year due
