A great and smooth road racer. Also a survivor of the early days when Grand Prix and sports car racing when it was extremely dangerous without seatbelts, roll bars, fire suits, or the other safety items we have today. God Speed and Rest In Peace.
A true gentleman and a racers racer. Abut 40 years ago when he started vintage racing he bought a old Trans-Am Mustang I had and drove the car like he stole it. It was the hardest that car had ever been driven. RIP
WOW, he sure made a run at it, was one of my all-time heroes from my early teens onward. Rest In Peace Sir.
I read a story about him back in the sixties. He was in a grand prix car, in a long turn, adjusting his mirror. While doing that he was passing another car. He looks over and with his other hand, waved at his rival. That had to be discerning for the other guy. I am being passed by a guy with no hands on the wheel.......
Drove some what under class or not the best....didn't he hold off some Ferrari's with a little 4 banger for the win ? Never be another one - thanks for the memories !
Condolences to the Moss Family and friends on the passing of this revered racer... Thanks for sharing this well tributed memorial to this racer @HEMI32...they made 245mph look effortless, graceful and beautiful...
I started reading about and following him when I was about 12 years old and discovered Hot Rod and some sports car magazine that had quite a bit of race coverage in it on the bookmobile when I was in the 5th grade. His exploits were always great to read about. May he rest in peace.
