Phil Hill - SIGH!

More bad news from the racing world. A sad say indeed.

Wow. this is incredibly sad.

One of the reasons I got interested in cars was a Fuller Brush (?) magazine featuring an article about Mr. Hill. This was in the 50s.

He seems to have been universally respected and liked and we are lessened by his passing. (not a pun)

Crap, I feel old...
