I am truly saddened to hear of Rauls' passing. I hope Raul and the his family knows how much of MY race track memories are of knowing and working with him, and my small visit to Tampa Bay where they were kind enough to share their roof and food for a few days till I headed back home!! You will be truly missed! Be sure to hug Squirt for me, and let her know she is thought of often.
