Editing Curtis LeMay (section)

===Sports car racing===
LeMay was also a sports car owner and enthusiast who owned an [[Allard Motor Company|Allard J2]]. As the "SAC era" began to wind down, LeMay loaned out facilities of SAC bases for use by the [[Sports Car Club of America]],<ref name=SCCA2006/> as the era of early [[street circuit|street races]] began to die out. [[Turner Air Force Base]] hosted the first SCCA race on a military installation in 1952, while SAC's operating base at Offutt welcomed the [[SCCA National Sports Car Championship]] the following year.<ref name="Nebraska HOF" /> LeMay was not permitted to race himself, so he allowed those like SCCA president Fred Wacker and Roy Scott to drive his Allard when the association raced at Offutt.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.scca.com/articles/1998526-honoring-american-veterans-general-curtis-e-lemay|title=Honoring American Veterans: General Curtis E.
