Re: RIP Fred Rector
I was at the Douglas, Wyoming points meet in 1990 with my Comp Car &
my very young daughter. I needed a hand with getting picked up after a
run. I had known Fred a little bit from my S/SS days. Well, he couldn't
help fast enough, and he had me in stitches all day. He said after our
weekend (tongue in cheek I'm sure) he was going to build a Comp Car,
stick of course, because he liked the later qualifying times, and he liked
waving to the fans towing up the return road. I think there were 3 fans in the stands at any given time. After that I had a friend for life!
RIP my friend.
