I'm bit late with this but some might find it interesting; Marshall Pruett put together a tribute to Dan Gurney. It can be found here; it's a whopping 3hrs long but well worth listening. The story of the aftermath of the Spa 67 GP victory were new to me.

Thanks for posting @joco!

I still think of Dan Gurney from time to time. I almost stepped in front of his scooter in the paddock at Goodwood in 2006, but he was going a little fast.
