This one is for the car guys and gals:
Yates was a senior editor at C&D and one of the reasons that it became THE car mag for so many years
He invented the legendary Cannonball Run and later one Lap of American as a protest against the low US speed limits. He actually won the first race East Coast to west in 35 hours or so. The movie was, of course, a sillified version of the real event.
RIP Brock as you downshift through those Pearly Gates at 100mph or so
