				Yesterday, Ayrton would have been 50
			 
			Miss him   Edit: I also miss the racing from back then. And, am I really that old?

 I'd almost rather watch a vintage F1 race, if they would put decent drivers in the cars. Hard to believe I've been listening to Bob Varsha for the better part of 25 years. JR | ||

			I'll always remember him utterly dominating the entire sport in his McLaren Honda V-10 back in the 80s.   | ||

			Miss him too    I have a B&W photograph of him in my living room that a friend took so I'm always reminded. My son was born a couple days after Ayrton's death so it was a time of great sadness and happiness in our household.

			1994 was the first season of Formula 1 that I can remember watching.  I was a kid.  I remember the Imola race very distinctively.

 Started watching Jimmy Clark in the early to mid 1960's. Watching those guys go around Monaco was a real delight.

			I was traveling in Brazil often when Senna died. The sense of loss there was tremendous. Watching the BBC Bahrain GP race last weekend, one of the commentators - Martin Brundle, I believe - stopped mid-sentence when he saw Bruno Senna in a car. He said those eyes were too familiar.

			I watched his death live in the wee hours of the morning, LA time. Just like Earnhardt Sr., it's still very haunting that I witnessed such horrific racing history.
