I bought a couple of his pictures over the years and the back wall of my office is a little Phil Hill Shrine. My favorite racing memory of all time was getting to race with him at the Pacific Northwest Historics in Peyote. After he passed me in the 340MM Carrera Panamerica Ferrari (Now THAT was a thrill) the carbs were going lean in Big Indy and I pulled up to his door on the inside, scared spitless that I might scratch his car. The carbs caught some fuel and he disappeared like the roadrunner does--he just got small. <div><br></div><div>After the race I went over to shake his hand and he was reliving the race talking with some other guys, just like any other car nut would, talking and laughing about passes and corners and cars. I shook his hand and he asked which car was mine. When I told him he said "What is IN that thing?" I told him it was a TR3 in drag and he got really animated, told me his first race car was a TR3 and he still loved 'em. I was walking on air for days. It was like God telling you he liked your car. </div><div><br></div><div>Damn, damn, damn. </div><div><br></div><div>Bill</div><div><br><div><div>On Aug 28, 2008, at 1:33 PM, Robert Lang wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div><br><blockquote type="cite">From another list...<br></blockquote><br><br>Word has just reached us that<br>America's first<br>World Champion, Phil Hill, passed away this<br>morning due to complications from Parkinson's<br>disease.<br><br>All of us at The Motorsport Collector wish to<br>extend our deepest sympathy to Phil's wife<br>Alma, his son Derek and daughters Vanessa and<br>Jennifer.<br><br>We have fond memories of the many autograph<br>sessions and other contact we had with Phil<br>over the years.
