Another one of my favorites. I can remember this like it was yesterday. Bill had been having a very rough couple of days in the hospital, and in walks Joe, Jill and Steve Reutemann with this poster-sized picture. He immediately got a huge smile on his face, and it was as if he was pain free for the moment. If you knew Bill well enough, you knew that if you were on the receiving end of the "single finger salute", it was meant with love. The picture remained in his hospital room for the duration of his stay, and now proudly hangs in our home office. I am forever grateful to Joe, Jill, Steve and Chris Pedersen (racephoto1) for this memory!

Here's best wishes for a great weekend of racing and a great get together at the Gardner spectacular. I didn't know Bill real well, but I knew him well enough to pass along some race talk and get his perspective on racing and sometimes life in general. I enjoyed chatting with him many times as he cruised along in his golf cart. I am happy that we have not just a race, but an event named in his honor. Unfortunately, I am unable to attend due to plans made months ago. We are in Hawaii soaking up some hot tropical sun (like we don't have enough in Indiana). I do wish everyone the best and I guarantee that I won't miss it next summer.

The weather is looking to be fantastic for the weekend! A little bit of rain is taking care of the water truck's job, and it is bringing in more pleasant temperatures.
Friday 83/58 Saturday 82/58 Perfect weather for the Bill Gardner Sprintacular!!! |
