I am sorry to hear Bill Hicks has passed away. He had a significant impact on my life and I will miss him. I was fortunate to have spoken with him a few weeks ago to catch up and talk about going to Eldora in May for Sprint cars, I cant beleive hes gone. Bill Hicks owned Midgets and Sprint Cars in 70s-90s Bill inherited me when he decided to get a CRA Sprint car for driver Jim Laurie IV and the car he wanted came with me (little did he know). I will always look back at the good times and bad times and remember all he did to help make me who I am today. There were 5 people in my life that I owe so much and all are missed.
My dad Ski Brzozowski, Jim Watson, Ralph Tracy, Glenn Howard and Bill Hicks.

Sorry to hear of Bill's passing,I had some fun times with Bill during some of the CRA tours on our off days,he was definitely quite a character.I didn't know your father or Jim Watson very well,but I knew Ralph,Glen and Bill very well and all were very good people like you said,
and all are missed.
R.I.P Bill
