George Bignotti passed away Friday at the age of 97. He was the chief mechanic for 7 Indy 500 winners. [AJ(2 times), Al Sr(2 times) Graham Hill, Tom Sneva and Gordon Johncock]. He will be missed by the all mechanics in IndyCar racing.

Yes he will. He, AJ Watson, Clint Brawner were the role models to a generation. Excellence was expected and safety never compromised.
Sad day for all that loved Indy Car racing at its greatest time in life.

Johncock was a favorite of mine in my early fanhood. George will be missed. All in all, it sounds like a good, long life well lived. We should all be so lucky.
