| José Guillermo "Memo" Gidley is a racing driver of German and Canadian ancestry, born in La Paz, Mexico in 1970, although he is an American citizen. He worked at the Skip Barber racing school as a mechanic to fund his career for some time, eventually getting a chance in ChampCar with Derrick Walker in 1999, although this was as a short-term replacement. He did the same task for Gerry Forsythe a year later, and Chip Ganassi in 2001, twice coming close to race victories. He nearly retained his drive for 2002 - Chip later suggested that they keep Bruno Junqueira over him as the Brazillian was under contract. He has raced assorted sports cars since, although he made 2 ChampCar starts for Rocketsports in 2004, and briefly ran in the rival IRL series. Since 2005 he has competed full time in the Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series, co-driving with Michael McDowell (driver) to a victory in the Mexico City season finale. He is photogenic and highly popular with many fans, and extremely marketable due to having connections with Indy Racing's main markets, and hasn't given up on a return.
