Andre,
I was in Vietnam at the time of the 1966-67 Lemans. You sure bring back some good memories for me.
I used to try and find out who won Lemans and it wasn't easy. Most young men in the service then didn't care for such things. They were concerned more with the latest baseball scores. When I would ask as to who won Lemans they would just give me a funny stare and say what's that. But eventually I would run into someone like myself that would tell me what they knew of the results. They obtained the information via short wave radio.
Good stuff Andre, makes me wish I was standing next to you on that shelf back then.
