It's so refreshing to hear somebody's exuberance
over the simple daily tasks 'O life...
Just prior to this year's Rolex 24 at Daytona
International Speedway, believe I must have been perusing Racer.com's website
to see who'd won Pole for this year's race when coming across the good news.
And although in some typically brilliant
ryth-Muh-tickin', your humble No Fenders scribe Tomaso apparently carried the
one too many places; Hya! When I first scribbled my thoughts about the
unheralded CART/IndyCar Driver some two-plus years ago after appearing on an
episode of Speed Freaks, proclaiming I'd heard of Memo 24yrs ago.
As I scribbled previously, I first became
aware of Gidley's Open Wheel Racing prowess Wayback in Twenty-oh-One when he
was driving for Chip Ganassi's Championship
Auto Racing Teams (CART) entry.
And although I didn't witness this horrendous
Sports Car accident, since I'd never followed Grand Am racing 'cept for the
yearly 24 Hours outing at Daytona.
Yet somehow I either missed the race, and
most definitely missed this horrifying accident for which Memo's truly lucky to
have "Walked Away" from, albeit he's been thru countless surgeries
over a very long three year recovery period! Nonetheless, The Freaks have kept
in contact with him ever since.
Thus I was hoping that The Freaks would find
time to interview Memo during their now yearly outing to the Rolex 24, for
which I can say they indeed did, and it's another GURR-REAT! Interview which I
recommend Y'all listening to.
As Kudos to Speed
Freaks for keeping Memo Gidley on our radar's the past three years! As he's one
of the Nice Guys who deserves recognition.
