Thanks for an exceptional piece of writing. I was 12 when Savage had his crash. I'd followed his career since he'd been a teammate of my favorite driver, Dan Gurney, in the Trans-Am series, and was driving a Gurney-built Eagle in the '73 500. I was crushed when I heard he'd died several weeks after the crash. That hurt returned a few years ago when I learned from Steve Olvey's book, "Rapid Response," that Savage died due to a medical error, not as a direct result of his injuries. So needless and tragic.
