    Granatelli was certainly one of the most innovating & entertaining men of Indy. He captivated an entire generation of race fans. Godspeed !

    Guys, his autobiography is a great read. You get the idea the writer is exaggerating but hey, guess what? Andy actually did everything in the book.....hundreds of speed records, etc., etc. Hell of a racer !!

    Went to Bertil Roos driving school at VIR in 2008. Vince was there with his son and I was lucky to get paired with them for couple days. Son was 15 and a very good driver. He and his son are very humble good folks. Hard loss during the holidays...prayers are with the family.

    He's been a local here for quite a while. Very giving of his time to charities.
