Bobby Allison Flies West

[exM20K]

His first plane was a Mooney, and he did come cool things with a bunch of A*’s, including a turbine.
What a life. RIP.

Met him when he was driving the BRE Datsun 510 for Pete Brock in the transam 2.5 Litre class. He knew that trail braking and setting up for the long straight was how to get it done. His sidekick, John Morton, could make a brick go fast

Watching that car and Morton wheeling the 240 were always educational on how to go fast.
