You have your family, and then you have your racing family. I would like to thank the racing family for the support and friendship you have shown my dad and my family. We have some great memories and now I am trying to help my kids have racing memories and to learn about the legacy their GrandDad left behind. I have also followed my dad's footsteps in that I, too, am a photographer.

Irene McClure

Rest In Peace, Bill, and thanks for all the memories!
