Back in the sixties there were only 9 to 12 grand prix races in a season. That left a lot of weekends for the drivers to get behind the wheel in the other series. Dan Gurney was another driver that could be found driving just about anything.
I should also point out how hard a race fan had to work at following the racing scene. The weekly newspaper, Competition Press, was a must have subscription along with the monthly race reporting by Road&Track. We'd read cover to cover, then the discussions would begin. Otherwise information was more than scarce. By the way, Competition Press later became the weekly magazine Autoweek.
