When I made the jump from crewmember to Owner/Driver it was Gregg that did the machining for the first motor that I assembled. It was fast from the get go - in many ways thanks to his work. I won B/SA Class at the Las Vegas AC Delco Nationals in my very first National Event. That was an unforgettable weekend!

One of the quotes I often repeat that came from shooting the breeze with Gregg still stands out : “There’s 1000 ways to lose in racing, and if you stick around long enough you’ll experience them all. The Book of Winning is pamphlet, and the Book of Losing is an Encyclopedia.” We laughed about it at the time, but it’s so true.

Gregg must have a lot of those Winning Pamphlets on the shelf. I especially loved it when he finished #3 in SS with the Nova wagon he campaigned. A Classic car driven by a Classic dude. Another legend has left the track, and another Final Round has been run. God Bless Verna and Gregg’s family in this time of sadness.
