I saw the Jack Costella thing yesterday, shocker.
I had communicated with him occasionally online since about 18 years ago or so, always responded, always cordial.
Due to our mutual emphasis on AERO, he was my #1 LSR hero.
IIRC, I corralled him in that Mad Max truck of his, SW '05 Saturday as he was in line. Asked Aero Qs for a couple mins, quickly digressed to life and pursuit of hippieness. Most enjoyable 20 mins of my lifes racing experience, getting an audience with the Guru of Air-Go without going up on a mountain, but on the Valhalla of LSR, The Salt, during SpeedWeek.
Hey Jack, Thanks, we'll always have memories.
