    I wanted to research his old car, now being advertised by GTC over in Europe, the car that was entered at LeMans but didn't get to run when NART had a fight over a 308 and withdrew both cars. Haven't seen Dan in at least a decade, he moved out to Cathedral City and had a 400 after he sold the Daytona.
    Anybody have a contact e-mail for him?

    Dick Smothers was co-driving a Porsche 906 #45 with Fred Baker in the 1969 Sebring race. He later frequently partnered with John Greenwood in Corvettes . I do not know what his relationship was with the other two gentlemen pictured.

    Smothers some years later was part of the group of Daytonas that ran the 24 hour at Daytona. Ken Starbird, Ray Ramsey/Clint Eastwood and David & Bobby Carradine were the car owners. All of them were at an FOC event at Riverside for a shakedown before Daytona.
