The exchange between Denny and the marshall on the gate was short and not very sweet with Denny asking "Don't you know who I am?" and (without waiting for an answer), driving straight through. You can't blame the poor marshall-it was stretching anyone's credibility to believe that an ex F1 World Champion would drive a Chevette!
He sure did'nt act like a former World Champ. I have photos of him unloading the Yardley McLaren with Greta at one of the MG Classic meetings. He towed it in behind his Commodore and they casually untied it and rolled it off it's open trailer....those were the days..even kids with karts have enclosed trailers now !!
