American racing legend Dan Gurney has died at the age of 86.
The following statement was distributed by the Gurney family: “With one last smile on his handsome face, Dan drove off into the unknown just before noon today, January 14, 2018. In deepest sorrow, with gratitude in our hearts for the love and joy you have given us during your time on this earth, we say ‘Godspeed.’”
I'll always appreciate his win at LeMans in 1967 with co-driver A.J. Foyt when their Ford GT40 (Mark IV) finally beat Ferrari after 3 years of trying. Ford stepped down from racing after that year because they accomplished what they wanted, finally.
Godspeed Mr. Gurney.....
