This is terrible news. I really enjoyed hanging out with him in Petaluma during this year’s WCR. His yellow 914 was a true survivor, and my wife and I had the pleasure of driving behind him on the first day’s drive to the winery. Despite it being a cream-puff car, he flogged that car like he stole it. It really impressed my wife that his stock car could perform so well through the Sonoma mountain twisties. I credit Dan and his car for my’ wife’s enthusiasm in letting me buy another 914 (this time to restore). I never got the chance to thank him for that. Prayers to his family from Geoff and Nancy.
