Yes, now that you remind me, all that is in Smokey's 3 volume book set. Interesting reading... He was pretty Pi--ed that he had to let 2 of them go to F--D!!!

PS: J. Johnson was the last to run one until the spares ran out. Water pumps were a big reason for a lot of DNFs. And valve train breakage was also a big problem. It's funny when you look back.....the valve train was also the main weak link on all the early MKIVs. Those push rods just didn't like going sideways! (not to mention weak rockers)
