Hey All,

I'll chime in... Somebody has to bring up the Gas Man.

He went to the same high school I did (earlier than me) and later was principal at the Jr high I went to for a couple classes. As a kid I met him - on good terms...

He was the first to exceed 200mph at Indy in 1977.

His brother was Indy 500 rookie of the year in 1977 as well.

Back when there were manual gearboxes and a clutch and drivers actually drove the beast.

Will is just the same old 'Queenslander' he's always been.
Nice to see him finally pull the 500 off!
