Paul Newman in a stunt plane at Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia at a SCCA TransAm race weekend in 1985. Eye witness account from Steve Bennett, "the plane landed on the pit straight---Newman walking through crowd looked like Moses parting the waters---plane did some stunts then buzzed the crowd real low---you could see PLN pretending to throw up in the cockpit."
In May 1976 Junie Donlavey in conversation with Richard Donlavey and Kenneth Bell discussing their Truxmore Ford Torino headed for France from Richmond to race in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The world-famous race would be held June 12-13. The Donlavey team did a masterful job of integrating the headlights and windshield wipers into the car. The NASCAR Ford was getting final preparation to go into a shipping container the next day for its journey across the Atlantic. Donlavey's Ford Torino lasted 11 hours before a gearbox failure sidelined the team in the race.
Al Unser Sr and Danny Ongais on the Saturday of the August 5, 1979, Kent Oil 150 CART Series race. They were initially watching a practice session at the 90 degree first turn of the Watkins Glen International racecourse. Two boys on their bikes were having a big time hanging out with the two drivers when the blonde showed up, leaving the boys to learn a lesson in life. The older boy on the Team Murray bike seems to have a similar mindset with Danny Ongais. Al Unser won the pole for the race and finished fifth, Ongais finished fourth after starting third.
