Bill Bader RIP

I was born and raised in central Ohio and have bracket raced at Norwalk many, many times. Back then I was a teenager who knew too little about racing and owned and raced very low budget cars. Mr. Bader, on more than one occasion, would stop by our pit area just to chat and make sure that we didn't need anything. I will never forget this even 35+ years later. What track owner/operator takes the time to speak to a teenage bracket racer running one of the slowest and cheapest cars on the property? I'll remember him as one of the most sincere and genuine folks I have ever met. RIP sir.
