Re: RIP Woodro Josey
Many have spoken of Woodro as an engine builder, a racer and a friend. He also worked for a time on Div. ll tech team. I asked him once if he did that to figure out what he might be able to get away with. He just grinned. RIP Woodro.

Re: RIP Woodro Josey
The first time I actually met Woodro he was working tech at the Open in Bradenton, Florida. I was completely BAFFLED and told my buddy’s in D3 that in Division 2 they allow the racers to also work in tech......

Re: RIP Woodro Josey
Do you remember what year that was. Terry Earwood and I were working on a project today and were trying to remember when Woodro did Tech. I left Div ll Tech in 75 and moved to Colorado and don't think I was around when he did that. We couldn't narrow it down.

Re: RIP Woodro Josey
My first memory of Woodrow was not a good one. It was my first bracket race in the late 80s. I had him first round, he was there testing the weekend before the Southern Nationals. He put a .005 light on me and ran the number. We talked a while after that and I realized how smart and talented the guy was, at the time I was just a teen and he talked to me, not down to me. Great racer and friend.
RIP you will be missed. Last edited by NSSGTO; 11-23-2020 at 11:16 PM. |

Re: RIP Woodro Josey
Best thoughts and well wishes to all of Woodro's friends and family. Sorry for your loss.
I had a brother pass in 2006 which is hard, but I found that they are always with you, when you look back and remember the fun you had together. I came across a video this morning of Woodro from 1987 If any of you have classic race car movies to transfer to DVD, I can offer advice. These tapes last longer than the 10 year estimates that were given them when new. But... you never know when a fire, flood, natural disaster will take them out. A DVD or youtube transfer is worth considering. At least put them in a climate controlled room, out of sunlight, maybe in a tote that is not sealed tight, not too hot / cold, not damp, etc. this is worth sharing |
