Racing career
Harry Gray wrote motorsport history when he and Larry Kulok won the first Sebring 12-hour race in 1952 . The duo denied the race on a Frazer Nash LM Replica of the 1930s and won a surprise after the long leading Ferrari 340 America of Bill Spear and Briggs Cunningham turned out after a suspension failure.
Gray drove sports car races until the mid-1950s and, with fourth place in Sebring in 1953, achieved another top position in this endurance race .
