Sad news indeed. I got to see Gray last summer at Road America along with Mike Drew and John Taphorn and the wives. Although Gray couldn't talk very well it didn't stop him from having fun watching and supporting John race his car. Being from Iowa I only got to see Gray a couple of times before that. Once a few years back at Road America and years ago during the Houston rally at the pig roast he threw for the POCA crowd. Although we only had brief encounters he was very engaging and friendly. A genuinely nice guy. My sympathies to his family.

Ever-giving, here is a pic of Gray analyzing the data from John’s first-ever laps and offering advice…. image0.jpeg I loved him like a brother. We had so many wonderful adventures together, including multiple classic car rallies in Europe in my GT-350 some 20 years ago. I will miss him so much….
