(1-29-11) From Mark Briant:
"There are two unusual details captured
here. He is wearing a helmet with a white visor (very rare, and I’d never
seen him use anything but a black visor) and he is wearing the old-style
dual-lens glass goggles – I believe he borrowed them from Jack Brabham.
Again, extremely rare for him to wear anything but the usual military surplus
rubber goggles."
(2-5-11) From Scott Sperka:
"In this photo of Dan, is his right index
finger bare? If so, why? Totally incredible photos!!"
(2-5-11) More from Scott
Sperka:
"The bare finger may be for flipping
a switch or something like that. Maybe between fuel tanks, pumps,
etc. I can't believe it would be for "sensitivity" to the steering
wheel or shifter. Hmmmm.?"
(12-14-13) From David Thompson:
"Dan's knit-back gloves had brown leather
index fingers; not sure why. Note how much protection Dan's helmet
gives the puny little rollbar." |
