The Final Lap of Phil. Racing Legend, Pocholo Ramirez

I.
Growing up car-less was probably the most frustrating thing a car nut can go through. I went through simply because of one TV show... Motoring Today. My parents could not understand why i followed the show, knowing we did not even have a car. Funny right?

II.
The show also introduced me to someone i later found out was a Philippine Racing Legend: Pocholo Ramirez. All i really wanted was to shake the hand of the man who really got me into understanding cars (aside from shagee and jez lol). Initially i thought meeting him would be easy. I mean my friends get to see him in track days at subic plus we get to hang out every once in a while with one of his grandsons. Sadly the only chance i got to meet him was at his wake. And yet i did not need to meet him for my life to be touched by the legend of Pocholo Ramirez.

III. And so, to Sir Pocholo Ramirez: we thank you for bringing Philippine Motorsports to where it is now. And know that Pinoy racers, drivers and motorheads will always remember you as the Father of Philippine Motorsports. Show those angels what real racing is all about. *Rev Salute*

PS: Kookie rubbing the urn while driving nearly brought me to tears. A fitting final lap for a Racing icon.
