Dan Gurney is one of just a handful of drivers whose grand prix careers stretched from the fifties to the seventies. Certainly as far as Formula 1 was concerned, the legendary Californian spent most of his long career in pretty decent machines, although one exception occurred at Spa in 1962.

As Rolf Stommelen climbed behind the wheel of the front-running Andial/Meister Porsche 935K3 after co-driver Derek Bell had pitted to refuel and take on four new tires, rising American star Bobby Rahal found himself leading Mid-Ohio’s $50,000-to-win “all-comers” Lumbermens 500 in the Group 6 Red Roof Inns Ralt RT-2 he was sharing with patron Jim Trueman. As Rahal closed on the rejoining Stommelen he seemed to be thinking about lapping the German before making his own second pit stop.
