Rusty Perkins R.I.P.
With a heavy heart we were told that Rusty Perkins long time Super Stock racer passed away this morning . Rusty had a heart attack last Sunday and fell and hit his head on the concrete floor. Rusty was one of our long time racers from Bowling Green , Ky. This is a terrible tragedy . Please keep Cherry and Scott in your prayers.

Re: Rusty Perkins R.I.P.
This is terrible news. Earlier this year Rusty helped us with some Q-jet issues out of the kindness of his heart and I was very grateful for his time. He was in poor health then and still took the time to help...the time spent talking with him in his shop was an insight to a true racer.

Re: Rusty Perkins R.I.P.
What very sad new's. We were looking forward to seeing him at the Indy Open. Will miss his smile, friendly advice and his unique 'gater cart. Drag racing and his family have lost a great guy.
Our condolences Jane & Bill Foder and family |

Re: Rusty Perkins R.I.P.
RIP..........RP. I spent alot of time at Rusty's house and also at Beech Bend with the whole family in the late '70's when he drove my dad's car. I am sad to hear it, but the only thing I can do is smile when I think about Rusty. I think he hit most of us that way. Truly one of the good guys. Prayers for Cherry, Scott, and Farrah.
