>>>That was Briggs Cunningham, in the April 26, 1954 issue of TIME 
magazine.   They did a profile of him and his racing squad, then the only American 
cars racing at Le Mans.   The writer looked around the fantastic race shop

he did it.   He very succinctly replied, "By starting with a large 
fortune." :>)
