Lost Another Good Friend
Just found out that my buddy passed, he had Parkinson and it won
 He raced from the late 60s through the decades, was a true car guy, and a wealth of knowledge. Some may remember when I posted the Bataan death march video, as his father was the highest ranking officer to survive and his diary and testimony is responsible for Japanese generals being hung for their war crimes.

Byron, I'm assuming you are referring to our friend Ash. Heck of a guy. I had the honor of co-driving with him several times. He will be missed.
