This website is dedicated to the memory of those important racing buddies and heroes who have passed from this earth.
* William R. "Bob" Jennings (1920 - 1982) - my dad who took me to my first five "Indianapolis 500" events
* Steve Schern (1945 - 1994) - from whom I learned to love racing 
* Guy Nadeau (1941 - 2000) - "Roarin' Roy" my best buddy - I miss you
* Tony Hulman (1901 - 1977) - he saved the Indianapolis Motor Speedway from destruction and made the "Indianapolis 500" into the "greatest spectacle in racing"
* Tony Bettenhausen (1916 - 1961) - the "Tinley Park Express" - my first racing hero
* Jim Clark (1936 - 1968) - the "Flying Scot" - in my opinion the greatest racing driver the sport has ever known
