He Was In for the Ride of His Lifetime

While reading Shav Glick’s last article, which outlined his incredible career, I recalled that in 1969 at Riverside, I had the honor of giving The Times’ new motor racing reporter his first ride in a race car. Though his face was distorted from the 130-mph breeze -- we were in an open roadster with no wind protection on his side -- he forced a faint smile. For 36 years since, Shav has put smiles on racers’ faces with his accurate, passionate and unbiased reporting. He will be sorely missed.
