Slim, you may have this already, but ECTA records show that April, 2010 running MPS/BF 1650-4 he ran 272.340 and in May he came back and upped the track record running MPS/BF 1350-4 to 272.374. I think that was also the year that Scott Guthrie gave him a plaque at our awards banquet for making the (unofficial) 250 club at Texas.

Slim,

Bill ran a 296.xxx (296.285 I think it was) earlier on the morning of 7/14 in the mile.  I can get the exact speed from Tim if you like.

Jon,  Do you know if there is any chance to put up some kind of display about Bill at the Century of Speed show in Pomona in January.  I think it would be a wonderful tribute and he definitely deserves the recognition for his achievements even if he was so humble to think he shouldn't.  I am stretched bad right now but should be able to contribute to some of the associated costs in a few months hopefully.

By the way, I am hoping to get some of my family to that event since I can't persuade them to come to our venues due to the sound, heat, etc... that we all love. I am guessing there are others among us that have that issue.  Best chance for me to expose them to the sport is  fork up some award miles!   :cheers:

The Service for Bill today was a very good one. The Priest hit on topics that I have been dealing with.
After the Service and Burial there was a gathering of family, friends and racers at the Knights Inn Hotel.

These were handed out as a reminder of Bill:

I'll pass the word on about the CoS event at Pomona next January.  Thanks for the idea.

This picture of Camryn was taken in Loring 2011.  He said, "Should I skooch down a little bit?  I'm new at this."   :-)



I took this picture on Saturday, July 13, 2013.  She told him she had gotten her picture taken with him before and he told her the next time he saw her they should do it again to see how much she grew.  He then signed the t-shirts we got from him, he had to wipe dust off the table with his hand so "your shirts don't get dirty".  As we walked away, Cam said, "He is so nice and cool." 

We watched all of his runs over the weekend...except the last one.  We were driving through the gate when we heard him going to the lanes.  Tracy stopped the truck for one moment and looked back.  Then we drove out of the gate.  Cam's last memory of Bill is of excitement and "coolness".

Wow...very sweet. Does she know? Not saying she should or shouldn't...I can certainly see the pros and cons of both...

Since we had planned on a little mini vacation on the southern Maine coast and were meeting up with an LSR friend who was unable to make the event, we chose to tell her in case the conversation with our friend ended up discussing it.

She is 10, very smart and sometimes wise beyond her years.  We are very open and realistic as parents also. She has handled it well...but "just can't believe it."  She was also a student at a Christian school for 7 years.  She knows in her heart that he is in a better place.

Tough conversation. But it sounds like you handled it the right way...
