Very sorry to get the sad news today. One of the most influential Camaro and Corvette guys there ever has been.

Jon, we are losing a lot of heros from our youth. He was a legend!

R.I.P ....a true racing legend! 
Does anybody know if has Swedish ancestors, due to his last name which is very Swedish!?

"At 170 mph, that kink was a corner. I slid the car through it and stopped at the pit. They said, 'Why'd you come in?' and I told them because of the Mulsanne stain in my shorts."

I guess at the end of the day, when you pass, it would be nice to know that your life story can put a smile on someone's face. RIP

Agree... all of my heroes are up there age-wise and we are losing them little by little.  Sad
