Our #23 Ferrari pits late in the race at the 71 Daytona 24 Hours

Bucknum belching more fire late in the race

   The flames fascinated the competitors, press and spectators alike.  I never knew why until Ronnie confessed.

    Here's Pedro Rodriguez's 917 at the same place.  He won the race, but we finished on the same lap after 24 hours.  Pedro and I changed places so often we were of greater appreciation of each other's talents after this race.

     Believe it or not, this is the same 917 destroyed during the filming of Steve McQueen's movie Le Mans.  (ref. Page 33)

    Ultimately, we also finished ahead of the highly modified Penske/Donohue Ferrari 512M.

    Here's Mark at the same

place, in the last of a series of three photos showing the competition.
