One of America's greatest drivers is celebrating his 76th birthday today. Happy Birthday to Mario Andretti! I saw him win Sebring in 1967, driving the bright yellow Ford GT Mk IV.

Good shout out to Mario and all his family, friends and fans.
Misters Foyt, Gurney, Andretti - three of America's greatest (among many others), for sure!
Czar - what a great memory to have even witnessed the Sebring race back in the glory days of prototype sports car racing!
I had the thrill and privilege of sitting in the yellow #2 MK IV when I gushed all over it's current owner about how the entire FORD GT series of prototype racers is one of my all time favorites. He said, "have a seat, and check it out for yourself!" That definitely made my weekend at the historic races...
Thanks, and... Enjoy! -- Ernie :>)

Didn't know I shared a birthday with one of the great drivers!!

Got to meet Mario, Michael and John at the 1988 LeMans.....it was the high point of the visit for me!
