[csx4910]

Got to see an incredible collection of Shelby’s while at Sema in a private collection. We need Dan Gurney for President!

Damn, I have reached the age I said I never would, where the above bumper sticker seems like just yesterday! Cheers, Dennis

That is the DGfP bumper sticker from the Cougar Trans Am program, I a original given to me by one of the SAI team mechanics.

We proudly displayed one on the back of Dad's 62 Volvo P-1800 (He made a special SS bracket, just for that bumper sticker ) I was very fortunate to meet & shake his hand. Dan drove many times in the 60's-70's @ Pacific Raceways in Kent WA. Trans-Am, Group 7 (Pre Cam-Am cars) and F-5000's. He was always one of my HERO'S. I'm sure we all miss him greatly. Thanks, Ron, for the great picture. Cheers Tom.

Well he is sharper and younger than Biden...

I met him at Kent, WA when he was driving in the Trans-Am and I was a corner worker at that race. I'd vote for him in a nano-second! Super nice guy that could drive anything!

@RVNDOC, that's cool, my dad was SCCA head Pit Marshal from 1960-74 @ Pacific Raceways. I got to meet all the greats and near greats during those years. Did you know Jimmy Clark showed up for a USRRC in 1963 with a Lotus 30, it was Friday, and the Lotus kept overheating (Common for those) couldn't fix the problem, so he & Susie flew back to England that same day, While they were working on the Lotus, Jimmy asked why I wasn't in school (8yo), I say my dad would let me take a day off if it was a big race, He & Susie both said, "Stay in School" don't make this racing your whole life Well you can see I never took Mr. Clark advice. Sitting there as an 8yo kid speaking with a F-1 World Champion, it still gives me "Goose Bumps" Susie said I was a "Proper little Gentleman" Cheers Tom.

But Biden is doing such an amazing job. He just went to all 54 states.

Cool story, Tom, thanks for sharing

Thanks, 86Serbing When you guys are ready, I'll tell you my story about Mark Donohue, in 68 @ the Kent Trans-Am race I spent the whole weekend with him, if he wasn't at the hotel or in the race car, I was his "Sidekick" I learned a LOT of racing tips that I used my entire career from Mark. Fun story, Cheers Tom.
