Default OT: Brock Yates dies at 82
Sad to see this news. A giant in the industry, very fond memories of his mags and columns. A true giant of the industry and founder of the Cannonball Baker Sea to Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash (not to mention the movie Cannonball Run, which I watched about 9,000 times). RIP Brock.

Truly a great loss for the community. I always enjoyed his column in Grassroots. RIP Brock.

RIP, Brock. My favorite photo of Brock and the Daytona that he drove to glory from NYC to LA in 35 hours and 54 minutes.
