This time I'm starting with the first race of 1968, the Daytona 24 Hour race in which the Trans Am cars races as a stand alone class along side the endurance classes. The Trans Am winners, Jerry Titus and Ron Bucknum in the red Shelby Racing #1 Mustang finished fourth overall behind three Porsche 907 Longtail endurance racers. It was Porsches first 24 Hour race win and a very impressive finish for the Shelby Mustang.
