Earlier today. His wisdom, passion, knowledge and manufacturing expertise helped drag racing evolve.
Also Indy Car, Sprint Cars, NASCAR and every other racing series that burns liquid fuel.

But it was the fish fry on the western swing years ago where more intelligence changed hands between the real insider players that left a lasting impression. And this (at the time) young announcer learned things you could not learn anywhere else on the planet.
If someone had dropped a bomb on Gualala California during one of those events, innovation would have been set back 50 years.

My first invitation literally felt like an invitation to the Bat Cave. I knew of the social event but it was an insider thing. Being invited was a sign that I was becoming an insider. I honestly don't know if that level of initiation even exists today.

RIP Sid.
