I remember Andy Granatelli and his STP Indy Car, with Tom, from back in the 60s &n 70s. Any relation?

I was on the BFG IMSA Camel-GT Racing Team, doing tire testing (I only had a Class C SCCA license, so I couldn’t do wheel-to-wheel racing; needed a Class A SCCA license for that), in their new Porsche 962 (US) /957 (Europe), back in the mid-late-70s and early 80s.

“Most fun I’ve had with my clothes on.” — me. Heh.
