Walt Brown (December 30, 1911 – July 29, 1951) was an American racecar driver. A Champ Car specialist, his career in the big cars began in 1941, and he recorded one win, in 1948 at Langhorne Speedway.

Brown died in a low speed accident at Williams Grove Speedway on 29 July 1951,[1] the day widely known as "Black Sunday" because two other drivers also died (in consecutive qualifying runs at Funk's Speedway in Winchester, Indiana) on the same day.[2]

gollark: RPNCalc 3. It's not *great* but kind of works.

gollark: Actually, I managed kind of partially applied postfix notation.

gollark: ```haskells x k = k (\x y z -> x y y (z y x)) x unsafePerformIO```

gollark: Haskell's nicer though:```haskells :: t1 -> (((t2 -> t2 -> t3 -> t4) -> t2 -> (t2 -> (t2 -> t2 -> t3 -> t4) -> t3) -> t4) -> t1 -> (IO a -> a) -> t5) -> t5s x k = k z x unsafePerformIO```

gollark: Z expressions or whatever allow for only indent-based handling, actually.
