RIP Harold Owens

The most respected and revered lane director in Div 7 has passed away.
He will be missed.

I am very sorry to hear that news.

Harold was one of a kind and a friend even when
he had to holler at me to keep me on the straight and
narrow.

God's Speed Harold.

A west coast racing icon. It was always fun to chat with Harold, hear his jokes. RIP.

Thats the saddest news I could imagine. He knew everybody, he called the lanes at nearly every track out here at one time or another, and everybody liked him immensely. This is a real loss to Division Seven. As long as he did all this, I wonder how much racing history of significance he personally witnessed. I think the greatest legacy a man could leave behind was all the racers that really enjoyed him and the reputation he had. He will be missed.

One of the good guys! RIP

Sorry to hear this, what a great guy! My wife, Gloria, worked the lanes with Harold for several years across the country. RIP

We meaning the wife and I have missed Harold the last few years and his antics.
He was entertaining at the front of the lanes and always had something to say to us.
He kept all the racers in line and paired correctly most of the time.
The one time he mispaired me at the Sonoma National and I argued with him he was pretty upset with me however, when he realized his mistake he apologized every time he saw me for several events.
He was one in a million and will truly be missed.
I have many fond memories of my interactions with Harold and I can only hope to have as many race friends as Harold has.
RIP my friend.
