Peter Gregg/Hurley Haywood Documentary...

Hey Folks,

No personal investment in the below (other than I'm a backer and have a car inspired by the #59).

Couple of folks are making what looks to be a killer raceumentary about the "Dynamic Duo":

"One of the greatest teams in sports car racing history was an unstoppable duo. Drivers Hurley Haywood and Peter Gregg won races together for a decade before tragedy struck.

Hurley Haywood was just a college kid in 1969 when Peter Gregg recognized his talent and took him under his wing. Just a few years later, Haywood and Gregg won the 1973 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring back-to-back. But this early success was just the beginning.

Nicknamed “Batman and Robin” by the racing press, the Brumos Porsche duo went on to win world championship races together for nearly a decade. Fame and fortune followed the men. They lived seemingly perfect lives. But beneath the thrill and glamour of racing is a humanity that is often overlooked or misunderstood.

This documentary feature film will give a never-before-seen look at the private lives of legendary drivers Hurley Haywood and Peter Gregg. This film will provide new perspective on their meteoric rise to fame and attempt to find meaning in the untimely death of Peter Gregg."

For more info, and to help fund the completion of the film (you can own a copy by pledging $25), go here:

Thanks for considering joining -- I really want to see this get made!
