I saw him drive at Road Atlanta a couple of times in the 70s when he was driving for Bob Sharp racing - datsuns and Z cars. All class and a true gentleman -- a loss for the world.

Paul Newman was the man... shown here with Robert Redford in a few scenes from their 1969 film 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid'
Also a talented driver and lifelong supporter of racing at all levels ... long live Cool Hand Luke
