Add to SetSummary
Race fans and observers were surprised by the strong showing from Carroll Shelby's Cobras at the 1964 12 Hours of Sebring. But the race wasn't so great for Shelby American drivers Ken Miles and John Morton. Damage caused to their #1 Cobra during practice was repaired in time for the race, but a blown engine forced them out early.
