A
quote from Paul, the son of the late Charlie Rainville; " Do you recall the
photo of dad and AJ crossing the start/finish line side by side on
the first lap with the rest of the field not yet in sight at Sebring
66 ? Dad used to say "What that picture didn't show was that he and
AJ were giving each other the finger", and then he'd smile and get
"that look" in his eyes. The Mustang had more power on the long
straights than the Cuda but it fell behind in the corners. The Ford
had overheating problems and the Cuda had to change the brake
rotors, (yup the rotors not the pads), and they still placed 7th
overall and 3rd in class."
