The racing world will miss him

I am no Ford fan but he was a great visionary for motorsports and will be missed.

Wow! He was a pioneer and a visionary for the automotive world. He will be greatly missed. I don't think racing and muscle cars would have been the same without him. I had always hoped to meet him one day. R.I.P.
