ExTREMEly good watch. I really like re-living and re-learning racing from the 70s.
And I must say, when Willy T. Ribbs was speaking about PLN..... well..... that is what it is all about. One wonders if that type of friendship and passion still exists in motorsports.
Every year at Long Beach Grand Prix time, Newman would rent The PAS and bring his drivers out to drive sprint cars. He would as well and even though he was in his 70's, he was pretty quick. One of the last time or the last time, he came off turn two one lap, got wide and climbed the wall on the back straight. The car got into the billboards, bit did not flip and continued on down the track. He brought it straight into the pits to see if anything was bent and went right back out and hammered the throttle again. Pretty amazing person.
