This book is a biography and a remembrance of the extraordinary life and accomplishments of an American Racing Icon with whom I had the opportunity to be associated in one of his greatest Victories: Famous Endurance Race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1967. DVD included in each book.

If you liked Dan Gurney - and name one motorsport fan who doesn’t - this is the book you have been hoping someone would write following Dan’s passing. It is not a biography, but it covers every aspect of his life in enough detail to provide a flowing context of his unique history as driver from 1957 to 1970 and then as a team owner until he died at 87 in 2018. Phil Henny is the perfect guy to write this book. He knew Dan well and worked with him on the Shelby American Le Mans team. He is an unabashed admirer and was in contact with Gurney at All American Racers after he left Shelby American. His enthusiasm on the subject is obvious and we’d much rather read a book written by someone like this than by someone who really didn’t know the subject and approached the project as just another writing project. We highly recommande this book.

The author Phil Henny
Phil was born in 1943, in the village of Montagny près d'Yverdon in the French speaking region of Switzerland. In 1966, he joined the Shelby American racing team as a mechanic, in time to work on the 1967 Le Mans winning Ford MK IV driven by Dan Gurney and A.J. Foyt. His stories of the American racing scene and particularly the Shelby era are fascinating. There are scant few memoirs out there written by the men who turned the wrenches, and a number of these frankly have little of substance to say, not so with Phil Henny's book. With unparalleled access to the world of the great Carroll Shelby, Phil presents an engaging look at an incredible era in racing. To his credit, he doesn't gloss over any aspect of what he saw, either within or outside of Shelby's organization. His comments about drivers are particularly insightful. Fascinating and strongly recommended. They are hard-to-find books not generally available in the conventional book trade. Phil lives in Portland Oregon U.S.A.
