Man!
I hate to hear that!
I was a big fan of Roth. In my opinion he was the most creative hot
rodder in History.
I had the honor of meeting him at a Autorama in Dallas several years
ago, he was a really nice guy. I bought a "Rat Fink" T shirt from him
that I still wear when I race. It has brought me a lot of luck in the
past.

Fink link.
Now I'm thoroughly bummed out....
