R.i.p

It is with great sadness and heavy heart I post to everyone, the sudden passing of Bill Edgeworth.
Bill lost a quick short battle to cancer. He was dear friend to me and many people, and will live on in our hearts and memories.
A service will be held Saturday Oct 3 2015 at 2pm in Lakewood Wa.
I will post the address on Wednesday when I get it.

So sorry to hear this,, didn't know Bill well, only talked a few times in the pits. Thanks for posting Shawn. Bill was one of a shrinking number of racers from our Tacoma area.
His Firebird always ran well. R.I.P. Bill.

Bill Edgeworth ran the real fast K/L/SA Firebird, correct? This is sad news, as he was very forthcoming with alot of info, when i was just starting my Stocker build... I never had the opportunity to meet him in person... My condolences to his family and close friends...RIP Bill

You are correct, Brent. A very nice gentleman and an excellent racer. My understanding is that the entire racing operation is up for sale. Car, trailer, pit bike, etc, etc. I believe it is on racingjunk.com,,, if you know someone interested.

Man, thats just sad... 52 is way too young to be leaving this world, and your family...

Went to the service yesterday,,, a nice, simple one at Bill's place of employment, a manufacturing plant and the racecar and trailer were on display. I learned that the whole operation was sold this past week, the car will stay local and hopefully will debut at Vegas under a new team. Service was well attended.

I am so glad the service was well attended. Bill was a very well liked guy and a very knowledgeable racer.

Brent, glad Bill was able to help you, too bad you never got the chance to meet him in person. He was a great guy to talk with and very passionate about class racing.
