Godspeed Dan Gurney.

RIP Dan Gurney. The Eagle has landed.

Sad news.

My young self's hero. He set the bar that everyone else tries to reach. Thanks, Dan. You ARE the man.

Dan filled in for McLaren when Bruce died (check out the excellent McLaren documentary on Netflix).  He won that CAN-AM race in July 1970...when the first Z raced in Canada.

He's immortalised, the Gurney flap has seen to that. Must write 'RIP Gurney' on the one on the 280ZX.
