Ed Wright Passes
 

Paula and I are saddened to relay that long time division 4 racer and good friend Ed Wright passed away yesterday.

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

Very sad to hear, he was a steady and helpful voice on the forum for many years. Recall him retiring from racing to attend to his ailing wife. Condolences to his family and friends.

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

Ed helped me out with tuning advice when I was just starting with the F I stuff. He really had a passion for racing and solving problems. I really appreciated his sportsmanship.

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

Sorry to hear the news. His posts reflected the clearest understanding of F.I. tune that I have ever read. You could just tell. Condolences to his friends and family.

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

I never met Ed. I only knew him from this forum.
Condolences to all family and friends.

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

Sad news, Ed will be missed.

We sure lost a Class Racer

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

Always had really good posts. Prayers for his family. R.I.P. Ed.

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

Talked to Ed quite a bit on tuning. He was into programming before many of us other guys. Ran into him over at Indy during the US Nationals a few years back. His personally from here on the web matched his real life one. Polite, knowledgeable and a dedicated sportsman until his health and family's took a front seat to his love of anything motorsports. RIP old bud.

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

Very sad news. I always enjoyed Ed’s posts. He was a good racer and better husband.
Rest In Peace Ed.

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

Prayers for family and friends, see ya at the finish line Ed. RIP

Legendary racer. He's taken the time to talk to me on a couple of forums. The perfect Jr. Stocker.

Sorry to hear of Ed passing. Prayers for his family.

Good guy! Sorry to hear.

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

I knew him from this forum, but had the chance to meet him briefly at the Nationals once. Race in Peace, Ed. Godspeed to his friends, family, and racing family.

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

So sorry to hear that. Ed helped me tune a C5 Corvette that I was going to run in Pure Stock. He was very patient with me as I'm sure I asked dumb questions; never was in too big of a hurry to help. He had forgotten more about FI and tuning than I'll ever know if my lifetime but more importantly, he was willing to share his knowledge and help with anyone who needed it. Ed was genuinely and sincerely a nice guy. RIP

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

Learned a lot from his FI post, prayers for his family. RIP Ed.

Ed Wright was a great example of what it means to be a fierce competitor without forgetting how to be a gentleman. His expertise will be missed but the lack of his presence among us will even more of a loss!

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

I always enjoyed reading Ed's posts. Rest in Peace.

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

What Chuck said times 1000. Ed was a genuinely good dude. He and I raced many times over the years in Super Stock as he always out qualified me by a ton. No matter what, he was always kind and never played games. He seemed to enjoy being at the races no matter the horrible heat at Tulsa or Topeka. Missed him being at the races the last several years. May he rest in peace.

Godspeed my friend. He used to give me are hard time about running a stick shift. It was all in fun. I’ve missed seeing him at the track. He’s home with his wife now.

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

Ed helped me greatly burning chips and with tune up advice on our 93 Z28 pure stocker. That car was awesome and I owe a lot if it's successes to
ed's help. Race in Peace Sir.

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

Very sorry to hear. Enjoyed reading some of his posts and advise.
Prayers for Ed, Family and friends.

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

Another racer just let me know. To say it’s upsetting is a understatement. I first got to know Ed I’m the late 90’s. He tuned my bracket car after I was running into problems trying to tune the factory PCM. A few years later I moved to Illinois. And I started hauling my cars down there to his shop to tune them on his Dyno. We became friends. And he went on to help me immensely. At one point before he started ruining his car in SS. I was down there getting a car tuned. And was telling him I was building a new engine. He walked over to a shelf and tore the end off a camshaft box and wrote the number down off a ATI box. And said here order this cam and converter it’ll save you time. He was like that. Always willing to help. I think that was the same trip he took me to his house and showed me his SSer. He was so passionate about it and made it sound so fun. I ended up building my stocker. I could call him or email him any time. And he’d always help. Just can’t say enough good stuff about the guy. Sadly we didn’t talk as much lately since he retired and I got hurt and had to take a break. I just told my wife yesterday I need to call him. RIP Ed. We lost another very good man yesterday.

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

I also looked forward to reading his posts on here.
I had the good fortune to meet and chat with him a little when we first started in Stk. No doubt he was an example we can all follow.

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

RIP. Another good guy racer gone too soon. Mike McMahan

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

RIP. I have the same thoughts as many others here - I never met Ed, but interacted (briefly) enough online and read enough of his wisdom to know that he was one of the good ones; a true gentleman who was a credit to Stock and Super Stock racing.

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

Sorry to hear of ED's passing. I enjoyed his posts and respected his opinions. Condolences to his friends and family.

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

I pitted along side Ed many times and he was always very helpful with tuning advice and life's problems, very knowledgeable competitor and most importantly a Class Racer. RIP my friend.

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

So sorry to hear about Ed's passing.
He was one of the EFI brilliant minds and his technical knowledge will be missed.
My condolences and prayers to the Wright Family! God Bless!

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

Rest in Peace, Ed.
Ed was always helpful in providing real world experience advice to members on this site.
His knowledge of EFI when I was sorting out my LT1 was extremely beneficial.
We lost a good guy!!

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

Time passes and our contemporaries become fewer and fewer. Godspeed Ed, you were a hell of a guy.

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

I didn't have the pleasure of knowing mr. Wright in person, only through his posts here. I always read with much interest everything he wrote, his knowledge and experience was clearly evident. I appreciate that he took the time to share and help others. I wish I would have told him that before he stopped posting. RIP

Re: Ed Wright Passes
 

Very sad news. Ed was always someone that when he made a post, it was something that had value and I could learn something. I had the pleasure of meeting Ed at Topeka a couple of times, I really enjoyed our conversations. He was a true gentleman. Condolences to the family and friends. Rest in peace.
