In many ways the racing career of Dave MacDonald embodies the image of the light glowing twice as bright, lasting half as long. We will never know what the quietly brilliant Southern Californian might have accomplished had he escaped fate’s fickle finger at Indianapolis, but anyone who saw him race knows how deep the instinctive talent he possessed went, and understands how extensive his achievements could have been.
This site is dedicated to the all-too-brief career of the man known as “The Natural”, and chronicles the successes he did enjoy, from his early days in Corvettes through his tenure with Shelby American driving Cobras, Cobra Coupes and King Cobras, his stock car escapades and on through to his fateful involvement with Indianapolis.
The site offers links to topics such as Dave’s Racing Photos, Dave’s Family Photos, Dave’s Racing Videos, Magazine Covers, Memorabilia and Renderings, Quotes and Tributes, and Recent Special Events. Each of those destinations includes further links providing even greater illumination of this incredible racer. So take a look here and expand your appreciation for another of our heroes taken too soon, 50 years ago this month.
