It was because of the gossip, banter and reminiscing on this website that I started my annual holidays to coincide with your racing calendar. I'm disappointed because I never made a point of seeking Bill out telling him all this. We say often that no-one is bigger than racing, and now I know that's simply not true - because if Bill wasn't before, he sure is now. Godspeed Bill, gone but certainly not forgotten.

This is a shining example of how Bill Gardner's work and his creation have effected being a fan of this sport. The community that he built has not only brought so many of us local race fans together and helped us know who one another are, but it has also touched people half way around the World. And inspired them to travel great lengths to be a part of our little slice of the World.

Thanks for that post, Brett.

A man is about as big as the things that make him angry.
