If I am not mistaken, Dan Gurney has a birthday this week. I believe he is 70. And looks great !

Yep, you're right on both counts. It's tomorrow, April 13th.

70 is just a number. To me, he's not getting older...I am! Dan will always be the Dan of the 1960's, to me.

Happy Birthday, Hero!

I met Dan Gurney once at a CART pre-race when I knew Alex. Man that guy is so freaking cool

May I add my own wish to those above.

Happy 70th to the galaxy's greatest ever driver.

May I also refer anyone who is interested, to the following article: http://www.retroraci...dogsyndrome.htm

Added impetus to run out and buy Karl's book...

Happy birthday, Dan; still the greatest to me after almost four decades of being a fan.

..I'd love one of those 'Dan Gurney for President' stickers.. he never did have a go for that, or did he?
Happy Birthday !!!
There was a documentary on Dan Gurney which I saw many many years ago, I have no idea what it was called, but I remember his dad at one point in the documentary saying how he enjoyed seeing "the beautiful way in which he drives"... that's nice.
Is there really good biography on Dan Gurney ?

Moody, I'm afraid I cannot send you a sticker but perhaps this will keep you going for a while....

Happy birthday Dan. You gave my dad the sparkplugs from your 2nd place Indy car in 1969. I have it right here on my shelf next to the one Jim Clark gave me from his second place car in 1963. I also still have my Dan Gurney For President sticker and button too. My now vintage 1966 Mustang fastback still has the AAR sticker that was put there 35 years ago. From a former member of the Eagle Club, thanks for the memories.

Buford,
What do you mean, "Ex-member" of the Eagle Club?
Once in, always in !!!!
I'm one of the older members, number 217, and they started numbering with 100, I think. I joined way back in 1966-67 ? Can't remember and can't find my club card right now, but I know I have it!!

adios amigos
