Got a note yesterday saying that Bill Summers had passed away.
What a great guy, a true gentleman.
On my first trip to race at Bonneville back in 88 he was the first visitor to
my pit. Was somewhat overwhelmed when I introduced myself and got his name in
return as the Summer's Brothers were my hero's, understandably. Also meeting
Tex Smith, Gray Baskerville, Jack Costello, Dick Williams, Don Garlits, Al
Teague, Bob Markley and of course Bob Higbee along with many other focal salt
racers certainly meant we'd be back again.
R.I.P. Bill Summers.

Chris Harris............NZed.
