Dunno. Too bad he retired so early.

Nahh...he's not retired...he's running some little nostalgia league in cars using 30 year old technology and centered around commemorating the old Indy 500. Them was the days... :D

I had always like Helio going back when he raced for Hogan. Fast with Merc power but unreliable equipment.

I was happy when he got his first win but when he stopped along the track and climbed the fence I thought WTF but just figured he was a happy Brazilian.

When he did it after his last race I dreaded that it was looking to become a signature routine.

Now we have Nascar guys doing it.
