I have so many good memories from Cees van der Velden. He was a very interesting person in many ways. Raced for him in both the F3 class and the F1-V8. You did never know what was around the corner hanging out with Cees.
My worst memory was his very bad accident in Liege, Belgium 1982.
Was watching when he crashed his Velden/Johnson V8 wide open. Pretty hard to believe he survived and came back to win another race.
Cees was also a little bit of an underdog compare to Renato and Mr Bill..but man he was a lot of fun..
We all miss you.
