Very sad to here the news
 Only met Bill one time and it made an impression on me that I will not forget. I was fairly new to this board and made my first trip to LPS to run a sprintcar. Being from out of state it wasn't possible to make it to Indiana often so I was excited to see what it was all about. My father and I made the trip on our own and just happened to pick a night when 48 other sprintcars had the same idea. We werent there 20 minutes, not really knowing anyone and up walks this quiet polite man who introduces himself as Bill Gardner. I think I was more excited about meeting him than what the night had to hold. I was shocked to win my heat race and make the feature and Bill made a point to come back by and congratulate both myself and my father. Talk about impressing a hardnosed oldtimer like my father. Will not forget Bill and offer our most heartfelt sympathies. God bless...

Very sad news to hear about Bill's passing. He wasn't just a fan, he was an ambassador for the sport we love. He gave us this site to keep up on things when we couldn't be at the track, to complain (not that we do that...); and compliment. But most importantly he taught us how to live. He didn't complain about the fight he was in; he lived life to the fullest. Bill's legacy will live on through all of the people who were touched by him.
Godspeed Bill. |

Would be great to have a moment of silence for him
at Belleville Midget Nationals. Always respected his thoughts. My thoughts and prayers with his family in this difficult time. Best Regards, John |
