Actor David Carradine entered S/N 16407 with racing business partner Dan Ward for his son, Bobby Carradine, Tony, and John Morton.  This year they finished third in their GTO class and eighth overall, sponsored by Dan Ward Racing.  Carradine eventually sold the Ferrari to Bill Nichols and Jim McRoberts who would continue to race the car.
