Early last Sunday morning (02/26/2017), my father Richard Gardner lost his five year battle with cancer and entered into rest.

He was a long time drag racer. He started racing around Western New York in the 1950s. In the late 60's and 70's he ran his 62 Corvette in Modified Eliminator. In the the late 80's to early 2000's we ran our Super Stock 67 Camaro all over D1 and D3. For the last ten years, we have trying our luck at Comp with our F/D.

I would like to thank everyone who helped him over the years. All the help meant a lot to him. Thank you!!

So sorry for your loss, my condolences. I raced Dick many times in class in both SS/GA and SS/HA. May he rest in peace.
