He will be missed by a lot of old enthusiasts like me.
I remember the far to brief Vels-Parnelli F1 effort, an interesting car.
Some great photos in my collection of 'American Dirt Cars' books showing PJ wrestling those Offy powered dirt sprinters.
A legend passes.

One of the greats....saw a nice picture of him racing Foyt in Sprint cars the other day.....

Indeed - had some bad luck as well..but a brute on the track!
