Like the band Kansas once sung: "We're Only
Dust in the Wind." While we all know that saying about Only the Good Die
Young...
As we've A-L-L heard repeatedly since his
death, Justin Wilson was the nicest guy in the paddock, while Tony Kanaan
mentioned on Trackside with Kevin & Cavin how everybody becomes a Saint
after they die, but it's easy to Gush over how wonderful of a person Justin was
- because its True!
And whilst I've truly enjoyed Robin Miller's
pieces upon BAD ARSE' JW! I've just come away crying, and then laughing out
loud over Marshall Pruett's excellent
article upon befriending the BAD ARSE!
As I laughed
myself silly over Pruett's wickedness on bringing JW' a ton 'O Nasty Chocolates
while in Hospital!
And as we should know how inherently
dangerous A-L-L forms of motorsports are, and suffice it to say, there can
never be a truly 100% safe racecar. Nonetheless, Justin like everyone on the
IndyCar grid were not only totally aware of that, but also had long before
come to terms with it.
Yet I cannot help marveling over Justin's never
faltering attitude towards racing, and more importantly life. Which Curt Cavin
does an excellent job describing in;
And A-L-L I could say to myself was, what an
amazing "Stand Up Guy!" Tony Kanaan is! As he was a total breath of
fresh air upon Trackside with Kevin & Cavin Tuesday night with insightful answers upon the subject of
racing and why as drivers they do it...
While I found 'Ol R's (Robin Millers) eulogy
- for lack 'O better words to be an excellent description of Justin Wilson, the
person.
And like Tony Kanaan said on Trackside; if
we're gonna talk about how good of a person Justin Wilson was, then we're gonna
need the whole night!
