I met Vic in the early 80 s at Pomona. My prayers are with him at this time. He is being cared for by a longtime friend.....

He is at a friends home as MJ said. He disconnected his phone service. I tried to go see him during the Fontana race and he really is not up to seeing anyone, like yourself I have known Vic for well over 30 years. If I hear anything different I will reach out.

To all of Vic Hobbs friends in the racing community I have contacted his friend Laurie about a contact number for Vic although it may be hard for him to talk on the phone anyone can call 760-835-7636 visits are welcome just ask her for the info. Thank you all for your concern about Vic.

Vic is a gentleman's gentleman and a racers racer. We should all aspire to be the kind of person that he is.

Thanks Tom for the update on Vic, and dahkahuna for the updated phone number. Hopefully I'll be able to briefly chat with him to let him know about my/our thoughts and prayers to/for him. I too hope and pray for a miracle to bless Vic Hobbs.

Just talked to Lauire, Vic is still living, but hospice is in and it shouldn't be much longer.

She asked if his friends could write and tell what they remember about him & how they meet & what help he gave them. Would like to read them at his funeral
