Rick was one of the first people I met as a rookie in 2002/2003. I=E2=80=99d=
known him through the basic of the internet for years prior and always valu=
ed his knowledge and later his friendship. Jeff Porasik gave Rick his origin=
al trailer in 2004 and Rick restored it and said it would be used for a race=
car some day . It took well over a decade, but Rick was determined and made i=
t to the track as a 70 year old rookie! Rick would sometimes stay at our hou=
se for the VSCDA Blackhawk Classic and it is late night talks into the wee h=
ours I=E2=80=99ll remember most. My last correspondence with Rick was a few w=
eeks ago and he joked about being excited at executing his plan to walk to t=
he mailbox. I told him the important part was being able to walk back.=20
I will miss him greatly. Godspeed, my friend. May you find that perfect lap u=
p there.=20
