They defined a sound that is taken for granted today. An amazingly prolific band. Helluva groove! |

Winning Indy car team owner Vince Granatelli dies
https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/more-sports/winni...d=msedgntp
"Vincent Joseph Granatelli, son of charismatic STP promoter Andy Granatelli, was a crew chief when STP ran the famous turbine cars, and was also involved in the STP team's brief flirtation in Formula 1, which saw Mario Andretti score a podium in a March 701.
But Vince truly emerged from the shadow of his father when he took over Dan Cotter’s Indy car team in the 1980s and almost immediately found success.
After winning the Indy 500 in 1983 with Tom Sneva, the Bignotti-Cotter team’s fortunes dwindled as Sneva departed and Bignotti retired. Roberto Guerrero scored only four podiums in three seasons.
Vince Granatelli of STP, Bill Dunne, Mario Andretti and March designer Robin Herd at Kyalami F1 GP in 1970. _________________ Good Luck

Mr. Bogdanovich has a strong admiration among us in theSamba due to his Beetle-heavy car chase in one of his early directorial movies "What's Up, Doc?":

I don't see a mention of Bob Goalby, the 1968 Masters tournament golf winner who won due to a signed but incorrect scorecard by his closest opponent. He apparently died last week at 92. Apologies if someone mentioned it--if so, I missed it... |

Movie producer Mace Neufeld, who brought us "The Omen" as well as the Jack Ryan films, including "Hunt For Red October" (one of my favorites--"I always wanted to see Montana") died at 93. |

What a tragic story for someone who brought so much joy and depth to what was seemingly just a cartoon character. There is a little Charlie Brown in all of us, and "that voice" resonates in my head many times in my life. |
