Thanks for posting Stephen, was going to do so myself tonight. For any motorsports or Ford / Mercury enthusiast who doesn’t know who Parnelli is, you should. Link to the WikiPedia page about him:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parnelli_Jones


Highlights …

Indy 500 winner as a driver and a team owner
USAC sprint car champion
USAC stock car champion
Pikes Peak class winner
Trans Am champion (1970 Boss 302, he was also one of the 1967 Cougar team drivers)
Baja 1000 champion x 2

The man was a legend who was quick as hell in just about anything with 4 wheels.
