Bill Edgeworth ran the real fast K/L/SA Firebird, correct? This is sad news, as he was very forthcoming with alot of info, when i was just starting my Stocker build... I never had the opportunity to meet him in person... My condolences to his family and close friends...RIP Bill

You are correct, Brent. A very nice gentleman and an excellent racer. My understanding is that the entire racing operation is up for sale. Car, trailer, pit bike, etc, etc. I believe it is on racingjunk.com,,, if you know someone interested.

Man, thats just sad... 52 is way too young to be leaving this world, and your family...

Went to the service yesterday,,, a nice, simple one at Bill's place of employment, a manufacturing plant and the racecar and trailer were on display. I learned that the whole operation was sold this past week, the car will stay local and hopefully will debut at Vegas under a new team. Service was well attended.

I am so glad the service was well attended. Bill was a very well liked guy and a very knowledgeable racer.

Brent, glad Bill was able to help you, too bad you never got the chance to meet him in person. He was a great guy to talk with and very passionate about class racing.

We were out of town and didn't hear of Bill's passing until today. So sad.

Bill was one of those rare racers that did most of his own engine work, and yes that Pontiac did fly! He was always willing to help other racers. Bill was a nice man and will be missed by many.

Our thoughts are with his family.
