No disagreement from me. The Green Brick was built for SCCA road racing, and I'm thinking the Ford was a drag car rebuilt for the Nuremberg run(s). I don't know. This was the first time I'd seen the Fairlane at the Ring, never knew anything about it. Does not diminish the accomplishments of both teams
Reminds me of the time I saw the John Mecum corvettes and an early (front-engine Chapparel mostly chasing a little porsce powered rig around the Green Valley road course near Dallas. The "muscle cars" blew everything else away down the long straight, then the little guy made it all up and a little bit more on the twisty backside of the track. Brute force against quick and nimble! Almost fifty years ago...wish I could remember who won, but a spectacle to be sure!
