I'm disappointed that this thread has so few people posting on it to mark their respect. If this was about the death of an old driver (for example, Jackie Stewart), then I believe it would run to many pages. IMO The Prof is every bit as important, if not more so, than any of the guys that drove the cars.

I'm thinking that not a lot of people really know who he was, or what he really contributed to the sport over the last 30+ years.
I really didn't either until a friend of mine, who actually met him, suggested that i read his book Life on the limit. Reading it coincided with the movie Senna that recently came out. So, i read his book and watched the movie and feel like i've learned so much more about the history of the sport. Interesting thing is that Sid and Senna's stories overlap and interesting to learn about from a few different perspectives.
