When I was a kid, My grandfather was friend with Bill Harrah. My grandparents lived in Sparks Nevada and my siblings and I visited regularly. We always went to Bill's car collection, and several times getting a personal guided tour by Mr. Harrah himself. He was such a nice man, and would encourage me (I was the most enthusiastic car kid) to duck under the ropes and sit in these cars in the collection. My fondest memory of those visits was getting in and out of every one of the Ford GT40's in the collection! I grew up the days of CAN-AM racing, Laguna Seca and the west coast racing scene so the GT40's were like a light and I a moth!!! Someday I need to dig all those pictures out, what great memories!!!!
