Re: God Speed Harold Bettes
Sorry to hear this.
He was a very interesting man, who I had the pleasure to meet a few years ago in Colorado Springs . He did a great job modifying and restoring carburetors too. RIP, my friend

Re: God Speed Harold Bettes
Godspeed Mr. Bettes. I purchased my flow bench from him many years ago and for several months afterward he would periodically call to offer advice. Extremely intelligent individual and freely volunteered his knowledge and experience. RIP my friend.

Re: God Speed Harold Bettes
Rest in peace, Harold. You were truly a creative and imaginative mind. Too bad you did not complete the Monza project. I will miss our late night conversations.

Re: God Speed Harold Bettes
I had lost touch with Harold some years ago and then reconnected with him when I started posting here.
Rest in peace, Harold. Stan |

Re: God Speed Harold Bettes
Godspeed Harold!
My prayers and condolences to the Bettes' family. When I worked at the racing engine shop, my former boss shared lots of great stories of Harold when he worked for him at SuperFlow and later when my boss managed the engine shops for Yates and Penske, Harold also assisted him during his NASCAR days. Also honored to have been given the opportunity to collaborate in one of his airflow seminars in 2014. |
