My deepest condolences to Judy and the entire Santos family as they navigate this difficult time.

I first starting engaging with Vic in my teenage years in high-school while at my Dad's shop where Vic often was. I was gravitating towards engineering and ultimately went to college for it and was always intrigued with what Vic was working on. Vic's attention to detail is something I will always remember and certainly was an influence in shaping my career as an engineer and also as a racer. He always had to tie results back to a theory and he was never comfortable with something "working" if he didn't understand why. Vic is truly one of those individuals that has likely forgotten more than most will ever know. I will certainly miss having the ability to consult with him and compare notes. With the no nonsense attitude Brad described, you knew you were always going to get a straight answer, whether its what you wanted to hear or not.

Rest in peace Vic.
