FOT
Dave’s 2008 photo’s from Watkins Glen are of Jim Shaw’s car. I’ve attached the photo of both cars under our tent at the 2003 VTR / Summer Party in the rain and mud. Those of you that were there can remember the mud bowl that the “Polo Field” eventually  turned into.

Bruce’s car is on the right and Jim’s is on the left. Rare to see 1 this color let alone 2 together.

By the way Bruce’s son in law, Mike Mehl races Bruce’s ex Autocross TR4  #46 out of the Northwest. He attended FOT at Elkhart Lake as did Bruce and his wife. Our condolences to Mike and his wife.

I took this photo of a Geranium TR2 during the Watkins Glen Kastner Cup in '08.  I love the color combination and the car is perfect.  Not sure if it is Bruce's.

Sorry to get this news. 

My condolences to his family.

May he rest in peace,

DH

  I’m passing this along as some of our members may remember Bruce Lapierre. Bruce was active in both VTR and TRA and owned a Geranium painted TR2  He shared our tent at the VTR meet at TRF several years ago. He and Jim Shaw parked their cars side by side in the tent and out of the rain and mud. 2 Geranium painted TR2’s together is a rarity. I seem to recall there was a photo and perhaps it can be found. Bruce lived in Hudson, OH just across town from me and we enjoyed some time together from time to time. I’ll miss him.

  I just received the sad news that Bruce Lapierre passed away this morning. There will be a memorial service sometime in the future. They will send me the info when they have it planned.
