I knew he was on his way out. Too bad, but he had a helluva run. They'll never be another like him.

It was sad, but, at 83, he has a great legacy. One we will all charish and remember fondly.

Either by watching his films or reliving his racing career.

And the dressing will be around for a while, too.

It wasn't but a few weeks ago we were discussing his final tribute lap in New Hampshire.
I was so bummed out this morning when I heard the news.

He's up there doing hot laps in heaven right now.

I saw him race his GT1 car at LimeRock, he's quit the driver.

He will surely be missed

He said goodbye to Lime Rock earlier this year.

From the link in thread:
Quote:
LimeRock was closed down today Wednesday [Aug 20] or an hour and a half so Paul Newman could take a few last laps there in his GT1 Corvette and say goodbye. He was diagnosed with cancer 18 months ago and is not expected to make it past September.
