Sorry to read this. I think it was last year at Atco I sat with him and someone else BS'ing and having a beer. Never met him before. Saw him race his cars many times going back years and years...

RIP

Godspeed Rich. The death of a racer always reminds me of this sentiment, lifted from a well-known poem:


Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.


Rich has now walked a path we will all walk someday.

I can’t even believe this happened... I had no idea... I too was able to see Rich at that Atco race and give him a big hug ��. What a wonderful man and racer... he will certainly be with us next weekend and I can only hope that there is drag racing in heaven ��. Super Stock will never be the same... RIP Rich ❤️

My Sincere Condolences to Rich's family.

I met Rich in the early 2000's when he purchased a splayed valve V6 named Humpty Dumpty out of our Comp Eliminator Dragster. He set several records with Ole Humpty and quite a few #1 Qualifiers including Super Stock one year at the US Nationals. I recall we both had tears in our eyes for the Class Win Picture at the end of the track that year. I am so sorry to hear of Rich's passing, he was a Good Guy and a Tough Racer.

God Bless Rich!!
