Celebration of Life for Georgeo Thomson
There will be a Celebration of Life for my close
friend George Thomson next Sat. @ 2PM in Acton California. He raced a Black 73 Mustang the held the National Record and a series of several Oldsmobile 442s for many decades. His Yellow 72 442 was always at the top of the National races out here in the West! He owned Carburetor Flow Engineering which did work for many of us Stock/SS Racers. Please E Mail me: Racer7411@yahoo.com I will provide you the details and we can get a head count on who can attend. All the people who knew George are welcome. If you want Barbara can provide a Video for whoever can not attend and would desire to see one.

Re: Celebration of Life for Georgeo Thomson
I never had the pleasure of meeting George but he was definitely someone I looked up to. I remember seeing a story on his black record-holding '70 4-4-2 D/SA in Pop Hot Rod in '79 when I was a young man and it inspired me to build and race the '70 4-4-2 I race today.

Re: Celebration of Life for Georgeo Thomson
I am a bit surprised that only one request for info about
George's Memorial. He went out of his way to help me and so many other So Cal Stock and Superstock Racers and had a shop down in So Cal forever with a ton of customers going in and out! Back in the 90's = I would have give up on Stock without him coming to my rescue quite a few times. We live in Nevada now, but Jon and I will be making the 600 Mile trip back and forth to thank him again one last time be we stage up in Heaven. There were times when his family and mine were about the only ones at the RFC services.
