John Morton had Class wins with the Cunningham Racing team’s Nissan 300ZX at Le Mans and Sebring with an overall win at Sebring in 1994. “This team had kind of the opposite of the Pete Brock ‘we need to look good’ attitude. I have a vivid memory of the team eating during the race — dinner was smearing store brand bread from a giant jar of store brand peanut butter that was sitting on the tailgate of a truck. Half the crew was wearing some other person who-used- to-work-there’s uniform, some with tape over the name, some with the pants legs looking like they were ready for a flood. Back when you could still get away with it and luggage was free, people got on airplanes with someone else’s ticket and with luggage that Clayton got at garage sales filled with car parts to save money on shipping.”
