I just was informed of this. I don’t know any date or details.
I befriended him at RA about the same time I started racing. He would spectate from the outside of turn twelve, where we always watched. Neither one of us were aware that we both were involved in the sport. Over the years, he mentored me. When I had a question, he was always available to help. Even up until recently. He’s the one who sold me all my alignment tools and coached me through the learning process. Damn shame. I will miss him.
