Not Ranked
A good friend of mine races up at Limerock Park, and he knows quite a few people that work there. One of those friends called him one day towards the end of August and said that they had been asked to leave the track for a couple of hours so that Mr. Newman could privately take some farewell last laps on a track that he loved so much. The friend had also been told that Mr. Newman would probably not last through Sept. hence the request.
I was going to post this last month but out of respect for Mr. Newman, I thought better of it.
I would have loved to have been there to see that, if for no other reason than to just give him the slow clap. He deserved it given his generosity and talent.
Unfortunately we don't see many like him anymore. What a true loss all around.
