Hagerty gets an exclusive tour of AAR (All American Racers), the legendary race shop Dan Gurney founded after Carroll Shelby split off to create Shelby American. If these hallways could talk, they would unveil some of racing’s most iconic names from the 1960s and beyond—both drivers and engineers. Strap yourself in as Justin Gurney, Dan's son, gives Tom the ultimate tour and shares untold stories, including some barn-find Formula One cars stashed away in the attic!

Watched it last night.  That hallway with the walls covered in pictures is always amazing.  I would have appreciated an explanation for how the '70 Indy car outer skin in the picture came to be.  Hearing that the uncompleted 1969 F-1 will be at Road America in 2026 for the seconde Eagle Tribute Day is great news.  Well worth the time to view.

I love Tom Cotter's Barn Find series.  He's a big vintage racer as well.    Still waiting for the big Eagle biography the family has been working on for a long time.  I hear his wife is working through the pictures for it.  Just finished the first volume of Art Garner's bio of AJ, and it is very entertaining...
