I was just reading Brock Yate's column in another car magazine and was stunned to find out he has Alzheimer's. He is actually in the middle of a double-blind research study for Alzheimer's meds. His medical and writing future is unsure right now.
I been reading him since the 60s (back then, Car & Driver) and have talked to him several times at race tracks. I haven't always agreed with him but always found him interesting.
I know he's often been pegged as the "Cannonball Run guy", but honestly, he's done a lot of other stuff. For better or worse, he's had a huge influence on automotive writing in the last 40 years.....and speaking personally, I think much of it has been for the better.
