mackinaw Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 On a sad note, Dan Gurney passed away. One of his many achievements was winning the 1967 Lemans race in a GT-40. http://autoweek.com/article/racing/dan-gurney-1931-2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Rosadini Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Further thought, when you read his obit and get a handle on his personal life and the success of his kids, you really understand what a class guy he was. In particular when so many guys who reach fame in the "glamor" world of auto racing beyond " Saturday nite at the dirt track"- just let that fame wreck their personal life. If you have a copy of ,,"Ford: The Dust and the Glory" check out pages 600, 601. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blksn8k2 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Dan Gurney, the inventor of the Gurney Flap and the reason for the Gurney Bubble in the roof of the racing GT40's. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
