[Easy Drifter]

He was the greatest and he had nothing when he started.
At Gimli in 1975 he, Joann, Melanie, Jacques and a mechanic were all living out of an ordinary van. They had less than $3.00 left. He spun 7 times in the race but won it. Everyone else spun more often. 40 degrees F. and pouring rain.
Yes, I was there and was at almost all the races he ran in FA.
I was devastated when he died. By this time I had probably known 15+ drivers who were killed, some of whom I drove against.
JV was/is good but nowhere near what his father was.
RIP Gilles.

Retirement after winning the '82 title? I can't see it myself. The title was not the reason Gilles went racing, and winning it wouldn't have stopped his simple love of racing.
