A focus on Gurney and his "All American Racers" ClubGrowing up in the 1960s, I discovered the collecting passion the same way as many others my age, with sports cards. Hoping to land a Mickey Mantle or Johnny Unitas card made me no different from my friends. However, I had one sports hero none of my friends shared: race driver Dan Gurney. When I was a youngster it seemed that he competed in every race series – even VWs at the Nassau Speed Weeks.
