I received a call from J C Slaton yesterday that his dad Gary Slaton had passed. He was my close friend and racing partner for the last 25 years. He battled COPD and congestive heart failure for several years. I miss him more than i can express...

Gary was a great guy and absolutely loved everything about racing. Terry Emmons has some great pics of Gary that he made into memes. Anyone that knows Gary well would get a good chuckle out of them because it reflected a lot of his fun personality.
I hope Terry can post some of them. |

Pete you are so right..Gary was a great guy. Became friends with him when I was going to the IHRA races. It is truly a Sad Day... in Div 4 and our world. Prayers from the Smith's.
