[ QUOTE ]
This car would turn out to be the last car raced by Don

[/ QUOTE ]
not sure about that
Don was racing a Honda in the 1980s.
Took a lot of joking from his Corvette SCCA friends about it.

Just quoting Jerry Thompson, who raced with and for Don from the mid '60s until Don's death in '87.

There was a magazine article, where Jerry and Don co drove the 83 Camaro and won 3rd place at Lime Rock. Before the race, Jerry’s sponsor IRC had told him that Don looked too old to be a fast driver. After the race, they said Don didn’t look so old standing on the podium.
There was also a picture of Don in driving suit and helmet with his head sticking up through the roof driving a Camaro go-cart painted just like the IRC Camaro.
