Caught the news during the race at Road Atlanta. Storied run for Bob, that became very well known for his training of the stars!

He was a consultant on the film "Grand Prix," and taught James Garner how to drive for the film. That planted a seed which led to his starting the driving school, and because of location and his ties to Hollywood he ended up training lots of stars to drive race cars. Normal folk too.
