    Very sorry to hear about Gary's passing. I always enjoyed seeing Gary at the Florida Regionals. He supplied me with some hard-to-find parts during the restoration of my 1966 Corvette. He was an asset to our organization and the car hobby. I was glad to see Eric at Corvettes Carlisle.

        Wow, every Indy 500 since 1948. That alone is amazing.
