Here is one of Dave's paychecks from Shelby American Inc

Below: As a result of stunning back to back wins in the LA Times Grand Prix and the Pacific Grand Prix in 1963, Dave MacDonald
received the prestigious Helms "Athlete Of The Month" award for Oct 1963. The Helms Foundation created the award in 1936 and
Dave was only the ninth race driver to recieve the honor ... and the first to receive it during the football season. (Picture of medallion is
in the Trophy & Awards section).

Dave MacDonald had a cameo appearance in the 1964 movie "The Lively Set". The movie starred James Darren, Pamala Tiffen and
Doug McClure. The movie was still in production when Dave was killed in the Indianoplis 500. Universal had already filmed several
closeup scenes with Dave, as well as a significant amount of racing scenes prior to his death. Universal thought it would be in poor
taste to keep the scenes in the movie so they pulled all but one scene where Dave & James Darren briefly interact in the garage area.
Racing footage of Dave driving the Casey Owens (Darren's character) car was reshot using Chrysler's turbine car builder/mechanic
George Stecher. Dave's family receives residual checks every time the movie airs. IMBD editors please go here

May 24th 1964, NASCAR legend Glenn Fireball Roberts was seriously burned in a fiery crash at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Sherry
MacDonald sat down to write Glenn and wish him well in his recovery. Dave & Sherry's children, Richie 6 and Vicki 5, wanted to
write to their friend as well so Sherry helped the kids with their letters but didn't have time for her own that day. Dave MacDonald,
who was at Indianapolis preparing for the Indy 500 on May 30th, wanted to see the kids' letters before they were mailed and asked
Sherry to bring them with her when she came to Indy. Sherry did bring the letters but Dave never got to see them before the race. A
month after Dave's death Sherry sat down to finish her letter to Glenn who was back in the hospital. Three days later however Glenn
Fireball Roberts died and the letters were never mailed.

Richie's letter, along with his favorite good luck charm that he wanted Fireball to have.

Vickie's letter

Legendary "Father of the Corvette" Zora Arkus-Duntov considered Dave to be a friend and even visited Dave at his home in California
in 1962 to talk about the "Corvette Special" Dave had designed. Below is Zora's donation to Richie & Vickie's college fund.

Nice letter from Zora's wife Elfi to Sherry Macdonald in 1996. Elfi talks about the strong feelings Zora had for Dave

Dave MacDonald was very recognizable in his famous Cobra helmet. From the Bowman Collection.
