    Greg Moore

    Last night Fox59 here in Indy did a little piece on the great late Greg Moore, they talk about his great car control he had and they ask the question, what if the split never happen, how many Indy500 rings would he had on his hand.

    Nice to know Moore isn't forgotten. He was my favorite driver, along with Alex Zanardi. Of my four original favorites (NASCAR drivers Davey Allison and Alan Kulwicki), Zanardi is the only one who is still alive...

    It's still a big disappointment to me to have never seen Greg Moore race at Indy. You can only wonder what could have been, and I believe that it would've been something great. Sadly, we'll never know.

    Moore would probably have more championships than Helio.

    And how many trips to Monaco royalty would have had if he decided to
    jump the pond?

    I think after a two year stint at Penske he would have made it to McClaren, in F1. Great man great driver, greatly missed. God rest his soul....

    I still remember the second. I knew it then and there. Sad story.

    That is NOT entirely accurate.
    His life ended UNDER his racer...and he left this world because of FPP maintanence of the non racing area of the track by track officials who KNEW that the access roads to the track were at a greater height that that oif the grass on either side of the road.
    Only a TOAD would allow such a fatal hazzard to exist at a such a major league venue.....Gregs death was criminal and there should have been negligence charges filed against the owners AND promoters of the event pure & simple.

    NOTICE how NO ONE here has the same level of respect or sense of loss over Gonchi...?
    Hell ....I'll bet less than 10% of the membership here even has a clue as to whom I am speaking,

    and they CALL themselves "fans".....

    Oh great, another self absorbed student of history who thinks he is better than everyone else here. Just what we need. Maybe you and Uncle Waldo can debate each other into submission over who remembers more arcane trivia than the other. Meanwhile, the rest of us could care less, but will gladly watch with bewildered amusement.

    Most folks probably don't know the nickname given Gonzalo Rodriguez but that sure as hell doesn't make them any less of a fan. I am certain that if you had used his real name rather than some insider/little known nickname, that most folks here would know exactly who you were talking about. But then that would not have given you an opportunity to insult the other 90% here, would it?
