While I did not know Bob well, on the few occasions where I ran at VIR with Second Strike, Bob was always cordial, informative and a joy to listen to.

He seemed very down to earth and a family man at heart.

He was one of the good guys and will be missed.Everyone should open their Cobra history books and review racing films to recapture what this man meant to not just the Cobra world, but to racing as a whole.

My condolences go out to Dennis and the entire Olthoff family.
