John Fitch & the 1955 Le Mans
I did not realize that John Fitch was the Co driver of the ill fated #20 Mercedes.
He had some pretty heady company in teammates Moss & Fangio. Wow. This is an interesting story: https://www.yahoo.com/news/potential...130000056.html

Interesting man to say the least.
That changed his life's direction and he always worked to keep the sport alive and safe.
His innovations can still be seen on some major highways and he stayed active right up to the end.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
