1976 Le Mans - Hershel McGriff entered this NASCAR Dodge Charger in the Grand International class for himself and his son Doug to drive. The lower octane fuel available in France caused detonation, melted pistons and an oil leak in the Dodge's engine causing its early retirement

Thankyou for signing my photo, @SirPatStew, many years ago. I tried a few times to succeed and thankfully, I received my photo back, which I treasure greatly.
RIP, Sir Patrick 😢

So sad to hear Sir Patrick Stewart has passed away 😢
We were so lucky to see Sir Patrick on stage with Sir @IanMcKellen in 2016, when we saw ‘No Man’s Land’ by Harold Pinter from Row C - a first wedding anniversary gift from @NatCBrooks 🥹🎭

Hace 27 años murió Greg Moore en Fontana.
Aunque llegó a manejar en Indianapolis durante su carrera, nunca pudo disputar la Indy 500 debido The Split.
En 2012, James Hinchcliffe llevó sus guantes durante la clasificación para que, simbólicamente también pudiera girar en Indy.
