I met Vic in the early 80 s at Pomona. My prayers are with him at this time. He is being cared for by a longtime friend.....

He is at a friends home as MJ said. He disconnected his phone service. I tried to go see him during the Fontana race and he really is not up to seeing anyone, like yourself I have known Vic for well over 30 years. If I hear anything different I will reach out.

To all of Vic Hobbs friends in the racing community I have contacted his friend Laurie about a contact number for Vic although it may be hard for him to talk on the phone anyone can call 760-835-7636 visits are welcome just ask her for the info. Thank you all for your concern about Vic.
