Default Re: Bob Elliot RIP

So if you followed Bob's Career, you couldn't help being a fan. I deeply admired him through the years, not only for his on track exploits, but maybe even more for his gentle witty demeanor and willingness to shower encouragement or anything he could offer when he saw you were in need.

This damn Cancer that stole him from us did not defeat him! Many of you might be unaware but in 2022 pre-season testing @ Tucson he was in the right lane when rolled my white car careening into his lane at the top end. Bob could've easily made the first turn off but seeing I was in trouble he continued down track, even though he was seriously hobbled by chemo then, his thoughts were of rendering assistance to me... only clearing the track after I emerged giving him the thumbs up!

You are missed, my friend... GODSPEED!
