Bummer. His was the first Stock Eliminator car I ever saw pull a wheelie. That was at the Winternationals in the 80's. I recall it as a beige 64 Plymouth A/SA. I remember running around the pits until I found him to see what magic made a car with 9" tires do that.

Gregg was for sure one of the good ones. I don't think there are many S/SS racers he hasn't helped, in some way, out here in divisions 7. I'm sure the same can be said about all the other divisions or around the world. I know he had many customers in Sweden and Finland. He was a wealth of knowledge and information. Greg had done and seen it all. I'll really miss our dinners during a race with him, Verna and my wife.

Gregg did so much to help me when I got started in Stock back in the 80's. I can't count how many times he gave his time to help me, talk to me, encourage me. I know I had to have taken up his time when he was busy to come to the phone, but he always was nice. He was a great guy, he loved our sport and we have lost a real valuable member of our racing community. He will never be forgotten. RIP my friend.

Sad news, another legend gone. Often dominating, always someone to watch. What a career!
