As why does Nobody ever mention the Uruguayan's
Name when talking about Fallen Open Wheel Racing Drivers?
Sadly, it seems almost Universal, when
anybody writes about Fallen Open Wheel Racing Drivers, the name Gonzalo Rodriguez
is never mentioned. Which I find somewhat Odd since after all he drove very
briefly for El Capitano', nee Roger Penske.
And I Don't think I've heard his name since a
few years ago, when fellow Countryman Santi', nee Santiago Urrutia won
what then was the Pro Mazda Championship in 2015, Karmically at the very same
Racetrack over the weekend of Rodriguez's passing.
As today marks the Twentieth Anniversary of Gonzalo
Rodriguez's Death during Saturday practice for the Championship Auto Racing
Teams (CART_ race at Laguna Seca Raceway, where the 27yr Old Uruguayan Died Instantly
from his Injuries.
As I find the Video above to be very poignant in
light of Anthoine Hubert's recent Death in Formula 2. Along with F2 racer Juan Manuel
Correa being Critically Injured in the ensuing Accident, especially since it
eerily denotes why Racers do what they do...
