Re: Urgent Message - Q40 Basin Classic

Re: Important message from Aero Racing Engines

I'll pile on and say a big THANK YOU to Lee as well. Without his help, as well as Doug K's, and Rusty Van Baren's, I wouldn't have come back to racing after 25 years screwing off.

Re: Clarence and Peggy Lee

What a sad day. Clarence and Peggy meant the world to me. I was one of the many that Clarence helped out at the races. I was 17 or so racing in the SoCal F1 scene. I was showing some promise as an aspiring pylon racer. Both Jim Shinohara and Clarence helped keep me racing by sponsoring me, Jim with ...
