    Dan was also an ACE in WW2. And he was a champion in Formula Atlantic. One of the really FAST classes. Just cant keep a good fighter pilot down.

    Dan also gave the best SCCA awards acceptance speech EVER at the year end convention. I had chills.

    We are working on three generations on the track! My 16 yr old got his comp license 2 weeks ago at MAM. Now we have to figure out how to get two cars to the track for two generations! Then we need to get Grandpa to the track. He is 74 and a 50yr SCCA member this year. I think his last race was runoffs 1980. Thread/video like this may be the prod he needs!!!Thanks.
