There are so many men and women that we have lost over the years: Aryton Senna, Dale Earnhardt, Jim Clark, Peter Brock, John Lingenfelter … the list continues. Many other Motorsports organizations have written and will continue to write about those heroes everyday. But on this episode of Break/Fix we are choosing to explore the life of someone lesser known for his Motorsports accomplishments and more for his acting and the tragic story surrounding his death. Today we take a moment to remember the race car driver and actor: James Dean; and with us to unpack his story… is the world’s foremost expert on all things related to James Dean, Mr. Lee Raskin.
