I know we are an open wheel group, but I want to give a shout out to Bobby Gill who passed away at the age of 65 on the 17th after a battle with a word I will not use. He was a late model standout forever and later a USAR Hooters Pro Cup champ. When ASA was something to get up and go to watch, he was there, too. Had the honor of watching him race quite a few times around these parts back when Dick Trickle, Mike Eddy, Butch Miller, and the rest of the boys of the time were the Midwest's greatest short track pavement show.

I really miss the old ASA and hooters cup racing. While we are on the subject, but Noah Yoder died in a car accident October the 10th. Was a car owner for Todd Forbes, Jack Landis and some Busch guy drove for him also.

Too bad about Yoder. I remember him racing, also. We used to joke that he might have been the only Amish wheelman.

RIP along with Bobby.

Wasn’t Vern Schrock Amish?
