Sorry to see the news, Bob was a well liked racer, Godspeed.

Bob loved those Fords and was always willing to talk to you about them.
Rest in peace, Bob, and my condolences to his family.

Bob was one of the nicest, most-honest and enthusiastic cats that I've met in the years that I've followed Stock Eliminator. A Ford man through-and-through, and one of the toughest racers out there in a stick-shift Mustang. I'm very saddened by his passing, but, I'm glad that I had the opportunity to meet and get to know such a genuinely good person.

I will always remember Bob Pott, and pray that God watch over his family, as all of us move forward with his spirit in our hearts.

This one makes me sad. My deepest condolences.

My Man Bob-

I can say he was my West coast dad. He was one of the key people that helped me build and support my 88MustangGT Stocker. He always took the time to give me great advice on the car, whether at the track or our long conversations when we were both on the road-

The key to Bob was his love for his family. Bryan, KJ and I always talk about the key to life is family and he deeply cared for his. Racing for me has been more than the car, it's been the wonderful experiences I have had with my race family.

My Pops, and my wonderful wife Fumiko and I all send love to the Pott family.

Take care my man-

Ward

Bummer to hear about this. I met him at Vegas and he seemed like a real decent guy. And a Ford racer and stick racer is too valuable a commodity to lose. Hopefully his legacy will live on a long time through Kelly. I hope she gets to win an event real soon to honor him.

Bob was a great friend, & mentor. His passing is hard to take for all of us. I find some relief however, in knowing that his very miserable fight with that illness has ended, and his suffering in that fight is no longer. His heritage and legacy will live on through his daughter I am sure. Kelly he is very proud of you, as he always was of all of his family. My condolences, & thoughts are with the entire Pott family.

A very nice dedication to Bob, is in the current issues of National Dragster, by his great friends, Dennis & Kelley Alvey, as the current A/S record holders. Very nice my friends! My apologies go out to you DA, for your loss in this as well.

Bob, Thanks for all the inspiration my man! The FORD camp will never be without you!! RIP, my friend.
