Very sad to hear. I have two great memories of dealing with/talking to Harold and I remember them both like it was yesterday. RIP...

I met Harold during the Div 7 ET finals in 1998. After that I didn't think he liked me very much. he would always pair me up with a killer first round. In 1998 he paired me up with Ken Passerby and his Vega. Long story short, Ken never lost a round that year in the Gambler, Race of Champions, or Team race!
The next year He paired me with Leo Glassbrenner and I won the round, so next round it was Kyle Seipel!
A few years later I went to work for NHRA and for over 20 years we had a friendship that grew pretty strong and during the race season we always worked together. We travelled the country together and had great times.
He taught me so much about racers and racing with a few stories that would curl your hair!
I will miss his humor and wit, and will never meet another like the legend, Harold Owens.

I never met Harold. He sounds like an awesome guy. It's gret to see someone like that honored and remembered.

It's those people like him who help make our sport.

Many times it is the people that we meet along the way that makes the journey the most memorable. R.I.P. Harold.

Point of reference - - I never met Harold. Everything I have read here, points to person that I wish I could have known.

Harold was one of a kind and the best person anyone could meet. Rest in Peace, Buddy.
