Anyone else remember the Mad Magazine treatment of the movie?

I wonder how many people saw "Gran Prix" when it first hit the theaters 
in 1966?  I did.

Al Clemens gave me a copy when he came out for the BusterCluster, and I 
have yet to find the time to watch it.  As I recall, it ran almost three 
hours in the theater!!!!  (How long is the DVD release?)  I just hope 
they didn't edit out any of the race scenes, because no matter how much 
I liked James Garner, it was the race scenes that made the movie!!!  The 
plot (if there was a plot) was underwhelming.
