Reply to "Dan Gurney - RIP"

Indianapolis 1965, the front row.

Pole position: Anthony Joseph (AJ) Foyt
Middle: Jimmy Clark
Outside: Dan Gurney

All 3 cars are powered by DOHC Fords which were based on Ford's small block V8.

Gurney DNF'd with mechanical problems. Foyt led 10 laps, but DNF'd with mechanical problems. Jimmy Clark led the other 190 laps and won the race. He went on to win the Formula 1 championship that year, the only driver to ever win both Indianapolis and the F1 championship in the same year.
