This week marked a significant passing for me, a date and time that won't be easily forgotten.
It was May 8, 1982. Twenty five years ago this past week. And what made this date so important?
It was the day that Gilles Villeneuve died.
So the next question I'm sure is "Who is Gilles Villeneuve?", yes?
In 1982, I was a 16 year old that had a fascination with Formula One racing. Actually, in all reality, I had a fascination with almost any type of auto racing - excluding NASCAR (which to me, is a whole different issue). It was a time when I was pondering the possibility of becoming an automotive engineer. But I didn't want to be just any automotive engineer - I wanted to design Formula One racing cars for Ferrari.
