I miss Bob already - what a gentleman and good friend to every driver

It always meant a lot to me that he welcomed those of us that came from south of his border with open arms and a big smile.

As others have noted, Jerry was quite accomplished but always seemed a regular guy.

I'll be there; no race car, just my big silly track grin😀

How are my Canadian friends reacting to Le Circuit coming up for sale?

I can't imagine a world without that track (though I am familiar with its local noise challenges). My favorite track and my favorite region.
