Along with Steve McQueen, he had the potential to be a really Great, accomplished race driver if he would have started younger and concentrated on that area. RIP ...

I found out at our dinner banquet for our driving school (BMWCCA) in Fontana and it was mentioned he was also a Cal Club member? If so that's two gone (P. Hill, P. Newman). RIP

There are very few people that I'd want to "be": Cary Grant, Robert Redford and Paul Newman. What an amazing man he was!
