So true, When you think about all the petty stuff, inconveniences
Dusty track, Low car count, Rain etc that you might get your bowels in a uproar over. That man would have loved nothing more to be at a track, Win, Lose or on the hook than the shape he was in for quite some time. Rest In peace Bill, Im sure you, Dwight Clock, Morty, David Lynch and other IOW'ers who've passed are watching only the best racing and watching over those you loved.

Something that is not usually the case for me but I am truly fighting for words right now. Tracks, Fans and Teams brought us many friends in Indiana but I truly believe there would be less life long friends if it not for Bill and IOW. And, perhaps there has never been a site in racing where so many friends and foes have been able to express themselves when they couldn't/wouldn't do it in person.
I had the distinct privilege of meeting Bill and getting to know him during our stay in Indiana. What is not known to anyone is the talks Bill and I would have on here or in person when controversy surrounded our Team. His advice always made me feel better and deal with things better every time. Although he guarded us against personal attacks, he did allow everyone on this site to have their opinions about us and all drivers, whether we liked it or not. Although IOW will be a big part of his legacy, the fight and the ass whooping he gave cancer so many times is truly inspirational for all of us and will be his legacy. He was such a good man. I'm really sad today at hearing this news. ![]() Your buddy, Pete |
