Phil was a long time racer and member of OVR. He raced a DSR Ocelot years ago. If you ever ran an OVR event you were most likely touched in some way by him. Phil never knew a stranger and was always an advocate for the racers.
A prime example: If you won a trophy at an OVR race but neglected to pick it up, Phil would collect it and get it to you at the next race. He will be missed.
