Thanks. Always considered him a better driver than Picket, Dallenback or Pruitt. He made things happen for better or worse. Truly an exciting driver. Shame he will be better known for being the "first black" than he will be for his driving. I think he won something like 10 GTO races also.
Maybe I should start a thread on another of my favorites from that period, drug dealer John Paul Jr.

Yea, but having his Dad gun someone down on his front lawn make for a hell of a story.
