Damn. That was one "never give up" kind of guy. Wish I could have met him. Even if just to shake his hand

A shame. One of the great characters in American racing.

RIP Carroll

Always wanted a 427 Cobra. And when I'm done racing, I think one of these may replace the S2 in the garage...

Well we saw that coming, he lived a long and full life, and his legacy will certainly endure.

RIP...I saw a 289 cobra once, I would love to take one for a drive someday. A 67 GT500 would be fun too

I thought this was a good story: http://jalopnik.com/5909688/the-prob...by-really-died
