...plain-talking Texan who has spent years poking around the innards of high-compression engines, Carroll Shelby, 43, can get pretty tense. Whenever he thinks about Enzo Ferrari, which is often, he also thinks about the annual 24-hour Le Mans race-and what happens to his blood pressure then is not good for a man who has a bad heart...
Dennis still feels somewhat vengeful toward the people in Hawthorne who snickered at the group. "I like showing them that we've got a lot of cash," he says.

With three more races to go for the championship, Scarfiotti is third (with 18 points) behind Mitter (25) and Herrmann (22). But he is odds-on favorite to take the title for Ferrari. In that event, Porsche designers will trudge back to their drawing boards...
