Hi all, I just found out that John Surtees' son Henry was killed in a racing
accident at Brands Hatch today in a F2 race. Seems another driver crashed,
lost a rear wheel, and the wheel hit young Surtees in the head. Surtees then
also crashed. He was only 18 or 19.

I saw John Surtees at my first GP at the Glen in '68; driving a Honda if I
recall correctly. Good driver, but didn't like the Chaparral too much in later
Can Am races, again if memory serves me.
Bill
