	Dan Gurney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gurney was the first driver hired by Jack Brabham to drive with him for the Brabham Racing Organisation.
		Gurney was not comfortable with the name at first, fearing it sounded somewhat jingoistic, but felt compelled to agree to his benefactor's suggestion.
		Perhaps the greatest tribute to Gurney's driving ability, however, was paid by the father of Scottish World Champion Jim Clark when he took Gurney aside at his son's funeral in 1968 and told Gurney that he was the only driver Clark had ever feared on the track.

	Dan Gurney - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		While Brabham himself scored the maiden victory at the 1963 Solitude race, it was Gurney again who took the team's first win in a championship race, in 1964, and again in Rouen.
		Partnered with British engine maker Weslake, the Formula One effort was called "Anglo-American Racers." The Weslake V12 engine was not ready for the 1966 Grand Prix season, so the team used four-cylinder 2.7-liter Coventry-Climax engines and made their first appearance in the second race of the year in Belgium.

	Dan Gurney - Grand Prix Racing - the whole story
		Between 1963 and 1965 Dan drove for Jack Brabham at the wheel of the fine- handling tubular chassis 1.5-litre Climax-engined car carrying the Australian's name, but while he consistently proved himself almost a match for Clark and the dominant Lotus, time and again he was let down by trifling mechanical failures.
		Dan would later admit that the Eagle- Weslake was a dramatically underfinanced project: 'We had minimal backing in every area.
		The Eagle F1 project finally died in mid-1968, Gurney's enthusiasm for motor racing in general having received a severe dent when Jim Clark was killed in April of that year.

		Now in his sixties, Dan Gurney doesn't cut quite the same picture he did back when he was winning at Le Mans, or when he was taking the Lotus and Eagles around Indy and driving Porsche and Ferrari Grand Prix and sports cars.
		Gurney has been a manufacturer for the past thirty years, becoming successful enough that by 1973 twenty-one of the thirty-three cars in the Indianapolis 500 field were Eagles, constructed and built by Dan Gurney.
		Gurney speaks softly, as Teddy Roosevelt might have said, and he carries a big stick, a refreshing sort of self-effacing confidence.

	Manufacturer - Dan Gurney (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Shelby convinced Goodyear, who wanted to challenge Firestone Tire and Rubber Companys domination of American racing at the time, to sponsor the team, and Goodyears president Victor Holt suggested the name, All American Racers, and the team was formed in 1965.
		Their initial focus was Indianapolis 500 and Goodyears battle with Firestone, but Gurneys first love was road racing, especially in Europe, and he wanted to win the Formula One World Championship while driving an American Grand Prix Eagle racing team.
		The Weslake V12 engine was not ready for the 1966 Grand Prix season, so the team used four-cylinder 2.7-liter Coventry-Climax engines and made their first appearance in the second race of the year in Belgium.
