Dan Gurney Photo
My business partner who recently passed away was one of the pioneers in the early days of road racing in California. His name is John Hart. His primary employment was acting but he was also a race enthusiast. John Hart & Bill Pollack designed the Willow Springs Raceway. John was very close friends with Briggs Cunningham, Bill Pollack, Phil Hill, Sam Hanks, etc. Sam wore John's gloves when he won the 1957 Indy 500. John drove all the famous cars of yesteryear & I had some great pics of him in Phil Hill's Ferarri. He also got to run the first Dragonsnake through it's gears. Anyway, I've been selling alot of John's estate items for his widow & there was/is some really cool racing items.
One of the items is a real early photo & she says it's of a young Dan Gurney. I will try & post the photo & was wondering if anyone can confirm it's Dan. Thanks, Mick http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...0/MVC-419S.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...0/MVC-420S.JPG |

Looks more like an Unser than Gurney. Dan had reddish blond hair.
