Sad to hear.  He switched from Corvettes to Cobras and kept doing well.

He was 88...R.I.P. Bob Bondurant...and Godspeed...I never knew he raced Indian motorcycles as a teenager...

Bondurant was born in Evanston, Illinois. During his teens, Bondurant raced an Indian motorcycle on dirt ovals. In 1956 he switched to sports car racing with a Morgan and started to attract attention when he won the West Coast "B" production Championship, in a Chevrolet Corvette winning 18 out of 20 races.
