Jim Clark
Fifty years ago today we lost arguably the greatest driver of his time in a crash during a Formula two race at Hockenheim, Germany. I will never forget his dominating victory in the first Indianapolis 500 I attended in 1965. Such a tragedy; he was only thirty-two years old.

We were headed up Ohio Rt.127 to Eldora when I heard about this on the radio. Clark and Jackie Stewart were two of my favorite F1 drivers to come to Indy. What a sad loss.

Re: Jim Clark
I don't think I will ever forget walking through the quiet woods on the outside of the track and coming upon a modest marker where he crashed. It was such a sobering moment realizing I was where one of the greatest of all time perished. Soon, the scream of Formula 2 engines filled the air, and, as always, racers kept racing.
