Racing a personal legend

As the days get a bit longer, the racing season seems closer to reality. This year will be special for me due to the fact that I bought one of my best friend's last race car over the winter from his family and will soon be prepping it for this season. Bruce started like I did in Formula Vees with his buddies more than a dozen years ago. He passed last October after a fierce battle with a very rare form of leukemia. I met this crew in 2008 when I began vintage racing and they became some of my best friends. We raced together, cycled together, ate and drank together, I met my wife through them, they've become a big part of my life. Bruce was often the glue that held this group of friends together. I'm honored to be able to continue developing Bruce's 914-4 and hopefully honor his legacy of being a gentleman on the track and a good friend to those who are part of this community. The #20 was his first race car, an RCA Formula Vee. The cars in our club carry this sticker as a small remembrance of Bruce who did so much for his friends, family and fellow racers. RIP Bruce!
