Was this the same Bill Davis who owned and raced my GT6 in the mid 70's?
Alas, if it is I lost a friend I had not yet met.
Does anyone know if he ever owned such a car? Was he from upstate NY?
In any event, we have lost a fellow racer. Any such loss is sad, but I only
hope that I can be surrounded by friends, doing what I love to do right up
to the last minute. I pray it was thus for him.
