simon -you are correct

Husband had the pleasure of meeting him at Mid-Ohio raceway a few years back at the National SCCA races and being on track with him at Watkins Glen Raceway a few more years back. I was standing about 30 feet away but didn't want to intrude while he was enjoying his hobby. A true loss.

"Newman later became a car owner and formed a partnership with Carl Haas, starting Newman/Haas Racing in 1983 and joining the CART series. Hiring Mario Andretti as its first driver, the team was an instant success, and throughout the last 26 years, the team - now known as Newman/Haas/Lanigan and part of the IndyCar Series - has won 107 races and eight series championships."

"Cool Hand Luke" & "The Hustler" were 2 of my favorites.
One of the greatest actors ever without a doubt.
R.I.P. Ole Blue Eyes!!

Yes Jesse but those teams do not compete in F1.

someone altered my last post

"I just hadda show 'em what the game can be when it's great."

Fast Eddie called it, but he could have been describing Paul Newman

I probably misunderstood what was said on TV, but certainly he had some ownership relationship to the people at the race course.

Think "Racing Community" and that should cover it?
