Born in New York of Syrian-Russian parents, Said holds the distinction of being the first American to win a post-war European race - at Rouen with an OSCA in 1953 - having already made his mark at home in a Jaguar and his Cisitalia sports car, with which he won the Seneca Cup at Watkins Glen. His two seasons in Europe went pretty well; he won the Anerley Trophy in 1953 with the OSCA, then switched to a Ferrari for 1954, taking second place in the Bari GP and the Trullo d'Oro at Castellana.

Briefly dropping out of racing to lose a bundle in real-estate, Said returned to the tracks late in 1957, winning his class at Nassau with a Ferrari. He drove Paul Emery's ancient Connaught at Sebring in 1959 and continued to race in minor events until 1962, when, 'dead broke', he borrowed $2,600 to venture into property speculation once more. This time his gamble paid off and within two years he had made a million dollars.
