Re: RIP Woodro Josey
 

Farewell, my friend of about 45 years..Through the 283 era, the 327's, and as the Godfather of the modern LT 1 combo.
A legend is gone..

Re: RIP Woodro Josey
 

So sorry to hear about this. Woodro was a great guy. He will be missed. RIP Mr. Josey. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Re: RIP Woodro Josey
 

So sad to hear, I became friends with he and Linda 30+ years ago when I worked for TRW ... and I had him build me a 350 engine for my Corvette I/SA back in the early-mid 90's.
God Bless him

What a legend! God has the best racers/builders from our time. Prayers and thoughts for the family

Re: RIP Woodro Josey
 

Very sad. I talked to him earlier this year and knew he was not doing well, but this is a shock. I always considered Woodro to be too big to pass. He was legendary in his life and will be even more legendary now. Prayers and sympathies to Linda. . . My friend since 1976.

We always picked at each other and joked. The best I got to him was putting his "Woodro Josey Racing Engines" license plate upside down on Mike Mayronne's Camaro at Indy in 1983. He came to me in the Barn and asked if I was mad at him, but I told him I was from Arkansas and didn't know how to read so I didn't know it was upside down. We laughed for decades about that.

A great racer, an innovator, and a good friend.

What I remember most about Woodro was how he unselfishly helped so many people. It wasn't about money with Woody, he really cared, and he always went the extra mile to support our sport. R.I.P. My friend

Re: RIP Woodro Josey
 

Woodro was a great engine builder, competitor, and friend. He has touched much of the racing community in his many years of racing, myself included. When I first started racing, there was always much to learn about stock eliminator engines from Woodro. He always had words of encouragement and advice. He will be greatly missed. RIP Woody
Prayers to Mrs. Linda and family
