Wait! Ken Miles did race at Le Mans in 1966 and should have won but politicking by Ford brass prevented it from happening. Ford wanted the headlines to read: "FORD WINS LEMANS!" and not "MILES FIRST TO WIN DAYTONA, SEBRING, AND LEMANS IN ONE YEAR!" so they decided on a "dead heat" of the GT40s crossing the finish all abreast. The French would not have it claiming that dead heat was not possible due to the slant staggered start formation of the cars. So Miles was screwed! (McLaren and Amon were declared the winners in a sister car to Ken Miles) Then 2 months later Miles was killed testing the Ford J-car at Riverside, CA.
