Never Forget

[mike]

Seems as the years go on, people (not all) forget about the two champions and great human beings who were tragically taken from us at Indy in 96. Blaine Johnson and Elmer Trett. Like every year when the US Nationals come around, I still remember two of my favorites. RIP.

I was there, a weekend I will never forget! Wearing a shirt with Blaine's signature on it from Sonoma and having everyone ask me if he had signed it that day is just another reminder!

They will never be forgotten...always missed and remembered and mourned at Indy and many other days.
