On the wall in my study I have a photo of Mr. Ginther standing along side the car that was taken and signed by Phil Hill so I might be taking this more personally than I should……..

I was photographing this Ferrari a few years ago at the Seattle Historics, Phil Hill was about to drive it onto the track. His wife leaned into the cockpit and said, “You remember what I always say.” He replied, “Yes, racing is dangerous!”
