...miles) Daytona Continental, "Il Commendatore" had won ten manufacturers' championships in twelve years. It was a fine way to make enemies, among them the Ford Motor Co., which broke into its bulging piggy bank last year to develop a racing sports car of its own: the prototype Ford GT, a rakish, rear-engined coupe with 385 honest horses stuffed into a 40-in.-high package. Bursting with pride, Ford shipped its GTs off to Europe to teach old Enzo a lesson. In four races, not a single GT even managed to cross the finish line...

It is powered by Saab's 850 GT engine, which has won some top competitions in Europe...
...plan calls first for bulldozers to push several steel huts up close to the fire. From these, Gassi Touil roustabouts will spray water high into the air to form a cooling curtain for Adair and his men as they move in to attach hooks to the twisted remains of GT-2's rig and blown-out pipe, and winch the debris out of the way. Then a bulldozer will maneuver explosives on the end of a 200-ft. boom right up to the flames. If all goes right, the blast will snuff out the fire by momentarily interrupting...
