The opening of a race is 80% less interesting* without the running Le Mans Start.
* This statistic is completely made up.

Great photos, especially the 1951–such a sharp image (Klementaski? Alexander?) with the track all the way back to White House visible; the two 4.1 Ferraris at the head, two French specials and the winning Jaguar team. I also love the Sebring shot, showing the two litre cars, so well back of the head of the line: the rare long tailed Austin Healeys, 3 Maseratis and the Arnolt Bristols in American colors. MJ
