I am sad to bring this new as Gil De Ferran, age 56 passed this week end due to a heart attack at a Automotive event in Florida. De Ferran won the 2003 Indy 500 in a Penske car, he still holds the Closed Course Record at 241.428 mph. I started following his career back in 1995 when he was driving for Hall/VDS and he was My all time favorite driver in Indy Cars. I wrote him an email a few years back and he responded by sending me a beautiful 8x10 autographed photo that I framed and holds a place of Honor on my office wall.. Peace be with you Gil..Chris
