[Note non-running finishers classified 34th (#26), 37th (#30) and 39th (#9), moving subsequent running finishers down accordingly]
[Retirements during each hour are indicated at the bottom of the relevant column as noted on the official hourly standings chart, which is why the column widths vary.]
[Qualifying positions not reported in the “Official Records” booklet.]

1965 is memorable for the deluge which flooded the track with a reported 5″ of rain in half an hour at about 7 1/2 hours into the race (5:25 PM) and lap times plummet for about the next two hours. The winning Chaparral sat in the pits for about 15 minutes at 7:50 race time to let the flood subside.

If you see a car number link (they’re set off by hyphens) it will take you to a separate chart of the car’s lap times, bookmarked to the hour selected. So far there aren’t many. It’s a lot of data entry!
