brought to you by the winds load thick honey oil treatment for your car load restores compression for smooth performance load the winds by the stockist the company that is working in the ideas of tomorrow in pulp paper packaging plywood and other building materials and by Ford and its Ford dealer number one selling trucks in trucks at Ford is what spends the 24 hours of love rumbling throughout the night the dry and comfortable weather also today on ABC's Wide World of Sports you see Mickey Mantle, the great Yankee, speaking with Howard Cosell, reflecting on a memorable moment for him.

Hello everyone, I'm Chief Jackson, the microphone needs to be kept close here in Lemoore, it's that loud, if it's that loud, it's that exciting to me, Phil Hill, a man who drove competitively. here in the limo he finished 16 times, won three times and the Giants are there Phil Porsche gives Ferrari the Fords sailing having a good time in the group Porsche came with a squadron, they have lost some, they still have half of that squadron going or more than half Porsche is trying to win its first no more, they are certainly here strong this year it is the first time they have been here with engines as big as four and a half leaders this is the one as seen now in the standings and as You can see it's more or less Porsche dick El Corte and dick Atwood and Porsche number 12 which is a four and a half liter 917 which is the big one.

The number 23 Porsche shoots the bitter portion of its way through Dawson and Lin that's where the leaders are right now from one to three as far as cars that are out of play right now, let's switch to our colleague Krista katayaki In the Los Angeles office, the Porsche may be leading the race, but that's not all. Peaches and Porsches may lead the race, but not everything is rosy for this brand from Germany, number 14,917. We set a record in qualifying and left the first laps far behind the pack with a number of problems, including an engine problem. now the body is falling off the car what other Joseph Burton Porsche model Brian Redman was in the lead for a while and is out of the race now a broken oil line allowed his transmission to dry out another Porsche gifted by Hans Hermann has had his the front end was rebuilt and is back in the group and another Porsche is what they go along with other issues but they are still out front.

The accident on the first lap took one of the 917s to the private entrance and in that accident a Ferrari number 19 was eliminated with Chris Amon. It is interesting to see that the Alfa Romeo team has lost a car and France's cushion, a car, many are still racing. The French here at LeMond are hoping one of these blue cars arrives first. Back to you Chief Jackson, thanks Chris and in that first lap accident with the Porsche 917, John Wolfe, Great Britain, age 32, died, he owned the car, the weather has been dry and comfortable, actually , one of the most comfortable days in history. here in Lamothe Bill it's a very peculiar day Keith usually clears the fog of the day at night or maybe there are too many storms of things, the debates have been like a day in southern California in May or June cloudy all day, no there's a threat of rain, we have that important moment in every limb or race coming up, sorry, and we'll see in a moment this is the

1969

Ford pickup and here's a demonstration of why it runs like a truck and drives like A car.

We have prepared a rough bone for him. discordant road dotted with four-by-fours running alongside a wall of bulbs a bottom row and an upper row one rod is attached to the front wheel axle to travel between the bulbs in the bottom row another rod is attached to the cabin for travel between the top bolts, now watch as the truck starts on the rod and you see that the Bucks are clearing the bulbs on the bottom road, but the rod attached to the smooth ride cab has not touched the top ball, that is because The unique orange double I-beam front suspension steps over bumps independently smooth them out so you get a cushioned Carl.

I tried. Let's look again in slow motion as only the bones break on the bottom roller. Test drive the

This is Keith Jackson. with Bill Hill and Chris Takata Mackie as you watch his 24 more hours via satellite in color from France replacing the cars Porsche number 12 leads 423 is second 422 is third Metra Matra number 35 is running in fourth or is in fifth Matra The French car goes sixth, Ferrari is seventh and Porsche number 64 is eighth tomorrow their presidential elections in France the president broke down today here in Lamar the race started at two instead of the usual four and this was the image at that moment just before the start of LaVon the colors of international automobile racing setting the highest standards on the most famous racetrack in the world the permanent circuit at the starting site of the 24 Hours of Lamar the law the latest in resistance and the law yes you can have a pause at a moment like this before dawn it's very strange they're always just before the departures it's the last two seconds before the flag falls it's a dead silence for courage or you can always hear a pin drop an incredible crowd waiting for the start the drivers all those in the pit area about to get their heartbeats going, of course, it is the pit area in any endurance race and there we find the editor of national speed

news, the cryptic grateful Anunnaki.

France has never had an election day like this. The signs around this magnificent circuit. of tires, gasoline, cigarettes and oil, but not of the candidates Pompidou info Hey, a larger crowd, perhaps the largest in history, is here, of the open mouth that simply pushes them back behind the wall, such time the huge crowd is because, for the first time since 1950, France you have a winning car over the French are watching the pale blue scoreboards 24 hours a day now Beck you keep Jackson the legendary racers' feats in the 24 hours over LaVon the start circuit certainly a part of that legend eight point three six miles in total length, the marshals start occurred right here at the start/finish line, this group of buildings that is where the work is done on the cars to the pit area is open between work on the cars and classes and we move now and peploe on the course the lab he completed here 16 times after defending Eli there is a very fast curve here I used to pass them to make my refrigerator right about this date three years they moved the bridge to the top of the hill with the car sir well the bachelor cars are up here boy you gotta start thinking about slowing down the series before you go to the theater because They have removed much of the earthen embankment with railings around the kitchen, leaving this.

In your head, the fourth corner leading towards me is a long one, it follows the right hand side of Roo, which is going about 70 miles per hour, it's the first really shot corner on the circuit after they start paying out, I'll call right to 3.2 miles and I'll build you yourself traveling a disparate. time in 1717, the dog on the right, Rex, can be taken if the maximum speed, the risk of fire, the work when passing through it, you end up passing through molds in the turn, which is the slowest, began to close, other words They go, but you, 20 miles per hour. up to 25 miles per hour, let's go around the right hand side of him on the right, looking like before all these teams have down there that they're giving signals to the cards that they go through mainly because it's a good place for the driver to be.

Now you can see the signs, you accelerate back up to speed through a couple of smaller right turns than a hard left turn in Indianapolis, called Indianapolis, I guess because it was probably brick at some point, it's a band on the left, it has a little. leaning after leaving Indianapolis a short straight into a right hander called Arnage, about the second slowest turn on the circuit, a little faster than holding on and on a straight down into some very subtle but very dangerous rights and lefts in my release of the song for the white house the white house has been the scene of many dramatic incidents here in LaVon impact years after leaving the white house, another short straight and you reach the Ford chicane put into effect a year ago the chicane poor is a fast left and a The quick return to the fifth straight does two things: it slows down the traffic on the fifth straight and also thins it out a little, which makes the fence the rating it has always had because you will see that there is no a retaining wall between traffic and the pit.

The area is fine, this is what the permanent circuit looks like in graphic form, that is where the 24 hours of the law is the place where excitement and terror are constant companions and now we run in night hours while you watch it live. via satellite in black the first three wagons of all the forces run a French Metro wagon fourth a wagon of American manufacture but nourished by Jaanwar engineering of which is located in this place and we will continue with our coverage of the 24 Hours of Washing in Just a moment forestry used to be a waiting game, but not anymore, America needs more wood today, tomorrow and beyond, now the warehouses found a way to speed up the forest, first we cultivate the land, we plant super saplings, we fertilize and we thin the forest, which results in a third.

More wood per acre for a year forever is called high-yield forestry, even Mother Nature likes the idea, so next time someone says we're running out of trees, tell them about Warehouser High-Yield Forestry How does it work today with the ideas of tomorrow? A few moments ago Christie Connor Mackey spoke with some of the drivers who will run in the 37th endurance race that L'Amour here are his thoughts and comments what LaVon is to you Rolf Porsche's tombola number 40 and the fastest qualifier Lamarr is a very tough race for me and the 970 bush: what do you care?

David Hobbs, car number seven for gt40, well it's a long and pretty boring race. What is Levon to you? Giovanni, a lower number: a long, boring hole. I say it's a test for the car. Steve, it's to stay together for 24 hours, the pilots, let's do it with that, what is Lamar to you? Chris Amon, Ferrari driver and former 19th winner. I think I can sum it up by saying that it is a very, very long and correct Porsche Ferrari for Renault. We're all getting ready to race for the biggest prize in the Hall's drag racing limousine.

This is perhaps the most difficult moment for some of the drivers. Bill Hill, you tried 16 times, you want it three times, not even H three times. It seems like at this point that's not so bad, you know you're supposed to be able to look forward to the fact that it's a 24 hour event and the worst thing you could do in the world would be to get a little excited at this point it's exciting, so Of course, but not in the same sense as a sprint race starting the car, although certainly from a moral point of view it is something very important here, that is, the adrenaline glands there. "You have to be controlled a little bit so you can control the starter motor and the throttle a little better, um, yeah.

I mean, in general, here you're just trying to control the old thing so you don't do something stupid at the beginning." We'll take you out in the 20th hour, maybe like we saw at Sebring previously on ABC's Wide World of Sports, we had a false start there, a Lamaze false start, but if the event that started it all happened and I certainly seriously doubt that let's have a false start. Start here well, the pilots are in position at this time. I don't know what they're going to do today, but generally speaking, here in LeMond they somehow or another get down by lowering the flag in a way that they would put the rock in the It's a shame for Radio City, believe me, historically this year at least One of the fastest starters of all time has been Jo Siffert.

He will drive a Porsche. It will be interesting to see if Joe Separado is again the first man toachieve it. inside his car he shows up pretty fast on these LeMond outings, he practices those little three jumps that take him to the front door of the car and then he has a routine of steps that he follows and starts there, there, in the car. Many of them are already inside, they have a great job here, they have a fashion, a very complicated art, so the first one starts, it's a Porsche and it's off, they keep it open.

Portia is second, she goes up the hill to work. Not on that bridge, us, Philip, several cars sitting in the line down there, one of the John Wyer Fords got off to a very slow start. I still can't see the number, at this point here comes five, it's Jackie, very slow start. The first cars are already going down the hose in nominal difficulty, look what the numbers are. We know it has to be a fortune because several of them went down first at 322. Nine was the first man out and he left like a shock. So it was the 917 with its moving blades that created a big controversy because the Chinese of a Porsche whose team won its argument with the organizers at L'Amour and today race with moving wheels.

They frustrate the three stars over the hump at the end of the straight, they've gone down a little bit, it's 2025 miles per hour and this is where they get their first information, well they don't have to get any information on the left because there wasn't much to say, drive straight bro, we watch it while our French TV TF gives us the shot from a plane as we head towards the Indianapolis turn with the lead car, the number 14 Porsche, Roth's problems and driving the 17 car. Ferrari one piece and Posey is in that car Sharon Connecticut as they drive away between the clothes in the corner, the slowest point of the course will be a straight and this is without a doubt one of the most exciting moments for a lot of these guys because some of them have not been here many times, but it is also a moment where They gotta be careful Phil, well the first lap is definitely a time where you gotta be careful because there's a lot of excitement and you know, let's deal with it in 24 hours.

The last thing in the world you'd want to do is group up at a time like this as they move towards our long-lost fight in which whoever had the fastest qualifying time was the first man off the grid. first and is going to leave the field to have a coffee. They had a tremendous advantage at this point. You can hardly feel it with a car in second place, so look back a few hundred meters, there at the heart chicane. Tumlin in the Porsche 917, the computer inside has the lead at the end of lap number one, so it's a white Porsche 917 and when you check Levon's history you won't find any fortunes listed.

We have problems. We have problems at Maison Blanche. Look at the smoke. There is a problem there. we heard the sirens there are signs maybe of a pile-up in that problem area of ​​the White House in 2007 there is a tremendous amount of black smoke down there it seems like there must be a big gasoline fire trying to check the field when they came by I didn't see I didn't see Porsche a number 10 I didn't see Ferrari number 19 yes but he will put he you know he wasn't he wasn't that far away I didn't see no kids what are they What's supposed to do is a white car there, that's how it was this afternoon Bill and Of course, we know the story of what happened at this time, as we will pass ten o'clock and pass the one-third mark at L. "Amour, the murdered man was the owner and driver of Porsche and attends a 917 , John Wolfe, 32, from Great Britain The historian we had was the straight car that hit the guardrails and that due to the debris scattered on the track because Chris Amon Staff tank It broke and exploded to get a more direct line. .All the stories.

Let's go to Chris Economy Key West. Thanks Keith, and here with me is Chris Amon, the winner of this same race in 1966, who laughed off less than a full lap, a very spectacular one. The accident while leaving Mezo involves him taking out his Ferrari, the Porsche crashed into the guardrail, Chris, so what happened, pieces of his car bounced on the road and I actually ran over his fuel tank, which was far from Aurion, and so I set mine on fire and had to abandon mine. While I was still moving, in fact, it was better to go out and stay there, but my car, you know, was out of the race, it wasn't very burned out, I pushed it and they took it out very quickly, but that was the end of the race , Chris, I understand.

There was a fire in the cabin with you, how did you manage to overcome it and why don't you burn well? I had some very good protective clothing on and it certainly does the job. My eyebrows are a little singed. I feel like I have some sunburns on my face, but nothing serious, it's okay, you're here to collect from Chris Amon, who was the highest qualified Ferrari driver in today's race, he was out in that tragic accident on the first lap , now he's back with Keith Jackson, thank you very much. a lot of Chris and we will have more problems in just a moment wind charge made to do more for your car engine wind charge a liquid charge smooth and thick like honey restores compression stops excessive oil burning quiets noisy engines but also The charge effectively combats friction and wear because only the charge contains winds, the famous friction-proof charge also contains antioxidants to keep engines cleaner and the charge provides protection against combustion acids to reduce corrosion damage and expensive repairs.

Wind charging is made to do more for your car's engine, where you get gas or service, you get full power. charge made by win oil company the world's leading additives company change charge this is Keith Jackson along with Phil Hill and Cristie Codd imake in France the 24 hour under shopping center we have another great weekend of sports two of the big ones The world's sporting spectacles will actually be seen live and in color this weekend on ABC, the US Open will be played in Houston, Texas. Miller Farber has a 2-stroke lead over Bob Rosburg. Dean Beeman and Chuck Cootie are tied for third place and that will be seen later tonight on ABC. bill hill racing the afternoon hours we're in and we're out, let's even wait for the night to come, but back to the afternoon, the moments after the tragic race where john wolfe dies and there's a hat on and the car, if there is.

I thought he would really contest the fortress, but it quickly became paralyzed. This Amon was definitely a lucky guy right in the middle of the flames and it's all over and here's a moment where everyone was literally stunned 4:14 when he has to lead the fortress. On the third lap he missed the Ford chicane under the new rules, he will have to go to the pits and stop here, you see, he had to keep going and wait until the road marshal takes him back to the pit area. pits and turned off your engine now at L'Amour you are not allowed to put your car in reverse at any time there is no such thing as clear reverse anyway Jo Siffert's number 20 car took over the lead and although I know you were very high with that 908 fortune, well there it goes, it wasn't that far back, that's a little detour, well I say you're out of the description, it's that they keep it on the road and prevent it from flying, so it's very dangerous.

The best thing about removing them from the car is because they are a basic design feature of the car. Once you've designed this car to use these little aliens, you can't just take them away like that, it's not like in a formal car where they put some wings about a meter higher on the car and they were never an integral part of the car. Rico's Chinamen, Porsche's factory team manager, commenting on the moving spoilers which, after all, were allowed by the organizers at LaVon. It was a big point of interest because the entire Porsche team was withdrawn from the race, at least the 917s, the cars with a spoiler specifically built in, but the Porsche factory team wants their point, although they were also hoping for both. are that they had so far to be the first of the new 12-cylinder cars, so this is how it looks now: Porsche Porsche Porsche followed by the French mantra in fourth place and for John Wires because it is the fifth imatra si six Porsche it's seventh and the Ferrari has dropped to ninth that's where it is right now in clinical hours new cars go up to 6,000 miles between oil changes, but the detergents and oil that clean the engine usually go bad before six thousand miles cd2 makes a concentrated detergent that replaces the cleaning power your oil loses between oil changes cd2 keeps your engine clean and running new miles longer and if you have a car that burns out or needs protection and has low oil pressure, smoke loss cd2 makes another additive for these higher mileage cars and it works very well what we are saying is that no one additive is right for every car you need two one for high mileage cars one for low mileage cars cd two makes both could save you a lot of money in the long term and in the short term too this is Keith Jackson along with Phil Hill on staccato hockey we are live right now from all over France the LaVon 24 Hour race is the way it is is Porsche one two three Porsche 12 23 and 22 a French Metra is in fourth place the ports are fifth and sixth and it's Jacky Ickx and Jacky Oliver and for number six that's the car that won here last year and the Ford is there there Phil and Porsche do a great race in their first win in l'amour very very strong right now the mantra in fourth place they were also in second place last year too late in the race the Fords have been playing is really great as we saw previously in ABC's Wide World of Sports lay back in the field at Sebring and won after 12 hours on a very difficult course, so Ford is very involved, but it's Porsche one, two, three and a French mantra, by the way , a note of interest here in a low ball, a joke or a cold. driving a Renault Alquino is now running in 21st position his first attempt at the 24 Hour Limousine as the night progresses and as the ninth hour approaches Phil Hill's fatigue factor is now starting to become an issue the morning It will start to be your going to start looking forward to what is going to happen soon in the middle of the night and those hours between 82 and 5 are usually the worst around here.

I don't think it's going to be foggy the way the weather was today. It's going to be pretty good, but you know you never know and we'll continue right after this time. Hey, look at us, now we have the winners and Lincoln-Mercury leads the way for 1969 with all-new branding, the most dramatically styled car since the Continental Mark 3 brand, brings a whole new look to priced luxury cars. midsize, 2- and 4-door convertibles with bronze accents, and the world's most modern truck-style family tent. Colony Park, if Continental made a truck it would be in marquee code, each one a beautiful reason why next Saturday you'll see another live color broadcast here on ABC's Wide World of Sports from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville , one of the most notable seasons in outdoor track meets the NCAA championship in field events.

Olympic gold medalist Bob Secret in the pole vault, the man who does things backwards, Dick Fosbury in the high jump, you'll also see Olympic medalist from Mexico City, Lee Evans and John Carlos, along with the holder of the world record in the gym for a mile, Ryan in his final. college appearance, in addition to this excellent track and field competition, we will preview the upcoming heavyweight championship fight between Joe Frazier and Jerry, quarry of the NCAA track and field championship next week on ABC's Wide World of Sports and a preview of the upcoming championship fight anyway. between Joe Frazier's injury we find ourselves now as we approach the eleventh hour in France and the Porsches run one, two, three in the 24 Hours of LeMans, a major change Phil Hill Ford: The Fords have now moved up to fourth and fifthly, the two French silencers have brought back two, six and seven, getting very, very interesting, those fourths, in my opinion, will be very present tomorrow and we are seeing some fake images on video tapes just when the dust started to settle today here in La Valle number 12.

Porsche comes into the pits right now and of course this is one of the 917s that runs very slowly, the big number 12, driven by a Vic, say the fourth and Dick Atwood, a couple of Brittany, now we have a clock with him in the lead car, two minutes. six seven seconds heading towards Indianapolis now it seems like yeah, that's that little container right before the turn, the little Keaney Eddie incident and the practice testing another car, I don't know if we'll be able to team up in every way. I don't remember, there you see the movement, they turned left at the Indianapolis turn, but right now the lead car is surely running as smooth as silk with Porsche 23 by 22 third and a pair of Ford numbers 6 and 7 are balls and 7 for the number. 6 with the car I wanted here last year in this everyday world time is veryimportant, especially when you go out to make a great beer like Schlitz.

Time is of the essence when that time comes to enjoy the great taste of Schlitz you earned. Don't think about the months it takes to craft and age each smooth, golden drop. The Golden Age of Schlitz is what makes premium beers of choice in America. You can't rush brewing quality beer like this, but we have nothing against someone picking up the speed. delivery after all, when you're honest, it's a bad time as we continue our satellite coverage from France of the 24 hours of live broadcast, everyone here is Krista Karabakh II in the business manager, we talk to Rico, the spider-man of Porsche said even though our problems will continue David York, the Brit who runs the Ford team, says everything is going to plan Mike Parks, British team principal Ferrari says Ferrari is running comfortably and alkene rental manager Shaw ready Leigh had maybe the best date, he said the race is just beginning, we are parents just one small thing, the tail lights that keep going out on the mattress due to a vibration problem, you stay with Jackson and we will have more than 24 hours of Levon in just a moment, violet, this year's holiday trip. used tires now during Firestone's 4th of July tire sale, you can get one, two, three, four, and four white stripe deluxe champion tires for as low as eighty-five dollars for new tires, eighty-five dollars and look at the tires you will get.

Car tires with exclusive super tough rubber for long mileage, the latest wrap thread for safe handling, plus a Firestone super welded construction for a smooth and quiet ride, so why let this year's holiday with tires Worn tires get four Firestone Deluxe Champion tires with white stripes for just eighty? five bucks now at all Firestone stores and participating Firestone dealers approaching the end of the ninth hour of the 24 Hours of LeMans Porsche Porsche Porsche for the poor Matra Matra Porsche Ferrari this is how they are running now and PhilHill, the Porsches came with a squadron trying to win their first lowball, it looks like they have a decent chance.

It seems that they have a very good opportunity, but there is a somewhat reduced front quadrant, in my opinion, they are in a very, very strong position. We can't forget macho either, tomorrow we will have the final results of the 24 Hours of LeMans during our coverage of the final round of the US Open golf tournament that will be played this weekend at the champions course in Houston, Texas, the leader. On lap 142, the number 12 Porsche saw the start of the race and you saw the coverage of the night action live on Wide World of Sports last week when it was Sunday afternoon, however, an impossible situation had developed two cars , a Ford and a Porsche. fighting just a few seconds apart with the lead changing hands several times in the final hours this was impossible, it has only happened once before in the history of the race back in 1933 when the great putti Lou Volare won the race by less than Second, this time on the scene for Wide World of Sports, as the cars near the finish work, Jackson built Hill and Chrissy Connor Mackie, here's his report on the end of that long race as they go through the Ford chicane , is the blue. car the Ford gt40 of Great Britain leading the white Porsche this could be the last one left it could also be next to the last one left at this point due to the final time factor Phil Hill you just don't know exactly where you are we It's suddenly dawned on me notice that it looks like they're going to cross the line just before 2:00 o'clock or just after, making it virtually impossible for there to be a turn or for there to be two turns left, you know, in the big problem there's a lot of strategy here right now between who will win in the last lap, no one knows and a battle between Jackie X with the blue car and seven white Porsches launched.

This is how the last two hours of the 24 Hours of LeMans have gone, in other words, that endurance race is almost four hours of sprint and I understand that crystianna makya interprets that she has an inspector to detect this brilliant fetish, but the development delights here in the mix is ​​team manager David York for Ford, he's worried about gas, he says it's going to be tight, he's got his fingers crossed and he threw this at me. He said Porsche should also be very tight, so it would be absolutely amazing if one of these cars should run out of gas and now watch the traffic unfold as Spellman and the Porsche take the lead down the straight, even if the identities did. so soon and so slowly that now everyone can fly again.

Looking I should have had a return date there. I've got a real run at it, it's been backed up again now there's not enough time for the Porsche to redo it for him because the heat will rise here in case his right hand accelerates to 200. mile an hour turn for the bastards are cutters, there you go, it's the blue John Wyer sports car, the same car that won here last year and is in the lead at the moment, only a few components have been changed and it doesn't reach the boson. curve the slowest part in the eight weeks of that course here in football, that field is going to have a lot of problems getting through the fork between modes in the curve that we just saw a minute ago and a finish line because the grip on the road it definitely seemed to be On the Ford and Jackie factor, how much do you know, we really don't know, Jackie is a fantastic driver, not the Nerman is good in itself, but he is really fantastic and that to breathe seems to have an advantage in the corners .

I think we'll get a good taste of that right here, Phil, as they head to Indianapolis, turn into the only left turn on the track, well, we'll see here. I think the place where you'll really see the difference if there's any difference between, you know, maybe at blackout time, where they're going very fast around our NARS, which is almost a 90 degree turn and straight into the nasal wash or the White House area, very difficult where the lead car's road capability may prove I don't see, I don't see, I don't see how the Porsche will ever catch it now and look well, I just don't see it here, they're getting close to target , but it seems that there was another car in the image, they are safe and are keeping an eye on the clock.

I don't think this will be the last one left, they will have to do one more because I think that if they continue at this pace, they will be as high as we are. crash for finishing the start/finish line before two o'clock, which means they will have to turn around once again, it's going to be horrible, so this is where the accident happened yesterday, where one of the forces and if one of the Ferrari 50% of the Ferrari team here is Jackie paintings, but it is not out, they will have to do it. go around one more time because - in one it won't happen until they are somewhere down in the straight area of ​​mole sauce, now we will have to determine if one area or another in the typical hand movement is the one we intend to do in the In the last lap, it is very possible that they both had a particular plane that they have already spent hours on and exactly what they were going to do and where they thought they had the advantage of obtaining something over the other, that is for sure even though it is still within range of getting a good toe in before going through all the conflict, we'll see what happens now, thought to be faster, however both cars have been running at just fractions of their peak performance, their fastest time trials here.

For the last three or four hours, literally, let's not forget that the Porsche's time was only two seconds faster than the Ford's in practice and you know they're both racing up here, here it is, it's getting ready to overtake, it's over , I think it is. I did it too soon because surely the Ford will be able to hold on to it and do it again. Now it's certainly important to remember that this is 3/4 2 miles right away and there's also a cape and a hump towards the end, let's look at Jacky. Ickx, the blue car, he's going to do it, he's done it, look he actually left at five and I don't think there's enough time for the Porsche to pack him back up, if there is any, if there's any Erica who had . at the roadblock, now you both will have to stay on the left side of the road to be able to get past the curve that should be there, that's how it is now, there's no way for that to spill over to get over the board, it doesn't break .

Better the board, we have already seen that for hours it has not been understanding before the movements change. Jackie is one of the Young Lions. In fact, I think you hold him in the highest regard, even though Jackie is dead, he has done it. Oh, brilliantly, everything, Jacky Ickx. he's taking the last turn, it will take the last two hours. It had been thought that they could make a change of pilot by putting Jacky Oliver in the cockpit, but it is not that important. Hey, if this board makes the winners list today, it'll be in the same damn spot.

The car that won last year there were seven, a squad of seven factory Porsches, of here only one is running and at the moment it seems destined for second place, and the only gem in endurance racing that the Corsa has never claimed seems that you can lose. them again, but remember again there was the fuel factor, there will be enough fuel to go to the end and if there is, it seems very likely that Jacky Ickx will win when they come out or in an hour from now let's keep our the track is not more than road, hopefully, and acceleration in speed, the white exits are the only critical terms at rest now between the outside of the Ford chicane that dresses between the finish line and these guys right now and we know that this It's the last one left because it's well past 2:00 p.m. now. the race that started two hours earlier in 1969 the cause of the national elections here they come here they come through there look at that ecstasy pull there hard at the last minute here they come towards the checkered flag the fourth has that there is no earthly way the mail born on earth the same car that won in nineteen, the child of 1960, he had a powerful heart, he felt the steering wheel this time, he drove everything in seconds, the longest time he ever drove in practice and in the mall, that is really something now like Jackie I think it's raining champagne.

Jackie wasn't difficult, yes, he was fine, especially at night with a phone. I am very happy with Jackie driving extremely well under pressure. Bay at the end of the race. You think if he had crossed the track at the beginning he would win by a little more. I think on Saturday he lost that. 10 seconds we needed when he crossed in protest with a little more start, mainly they are starting the race for the spectators, there you have it of Jackie Allah on the shoulders of his mechanics, who can't get here through the crowd. You, Keith Jackson, once again, the final order of finish, a Ford gt40 led by John Wyer of England, winning for the second year in a row.

Jacky Ickx and Jackie Oliver driving to victory just seconds ahead of a Porsche 908 with Park Spearman and the sheriff on the loose driving the number three. Another extraordinary Ford GT40 car with David Hobbs and Michael Hailwood driving the winning car and the chasing horse. He drove over 130 miles per hour for 24 hours and traveled over 30 to 100 miles, and that's a little harder than driving from New York to Los Angeles. and now this is Keith Jackson along with Phil Hill and Krista Kono Machi saying "I do" from the 37th edition of the 24 Hours of Lobo will return to our live coverage of the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Knoxville, Tennessee, in just one moment spanning gold to bring you the constant variety of sports, victory and the agony of defeat, the human drama of athletic competition, this has been ABC's Wide World of Sports presented by Firestone and more of 60,000 high-performance Firestones from Schlitz test the Golden Age of Schlitz and you love why they say that when you run out of Schlitz you run out of beer and for your Lincoln-Mercury dealerships with the winning idea cars that take you
