- Relatively new SCCA sportscar racedriver Paul Newman in his aging TR6 #75 (bought from 5- time Nationl Champion Bob Tullius’ Group 44) at about 12.40 minutes in this long Triumph You-Tube video - squeezes out a close amazing victory against the new “Group 44” TR7

- Many years 75 year old Paul Newman won his class in a Ferrari GTB at Daytona

- Newman sure surprised Group 44 too

- Check believe he made an Indy 500 movie too -

actors that were racers too; their movies were about:

Steve McQueen - LeMans
James Garner - Formula 1
Paul Newman - Indy
