You will never find a greater guy than Racer Giles. Have grown watching everything he has contributed to our sport and way of life. Nobody in outboard racing can say that a small part of their career hasn't been influenced, even just a little bit, by this wonderful gentleman. He will always be in our hearts, always in our minds, and always with us on the race course. God Speed Bill Giles. (You will need it racing against all our family waiting for you on Lake Paradise).

'Twas sad as sad could be;
And we did speak only to break
The silence of the sea"

Great picture of Bill and is how I'll always remember him. It'll go in my trailer next to pictures of Ray Mason and Bob VanOver.
