      Deist is in Glendale, right down the street from the old Car Junkie shop.

      Sad. He was a man who literally lit himself on fire to test products so that we are all safer in race cars.

        Um...ya mean Bill Simpson?

        I could be super wrong, but don't recall Deist setting himself on fire. Simpson, however, did no famously. Was Deist first?

                  wow - a pioneer that I actually met in person. Godspeed Mr Deist!

                  (like so many others, he hooked us up with some updated safety equipment on the salt once. Super nice guy working out of the back of a panel van)
