Brock Yates SR.
Just heard that Brock Yates Sr passed away today at age 82 from Alzheimer's.
This man was legendary in automotive journalism. As Editor and contributor for Car and Driver on and off over several years his viewpoint was always worth reading.
His greatest automotive achievement had to be the Cannonball Run and later One Lap of America, of which I participated in 1991 and 1993. He was also a commentator at Barrett Jackson Auctions around 2003-2004.
Brock is probably going to organize "One Lap of Heaven" once he settles in.
