I got asked to share to Gerry’s racing friends.
The racing community has lost another great one.
You may have known Gerry, or you may have simply known him as the guy driving the blue quad. That quad was bought for the racetrack, and Gerry was always willing to lend it out or use it wherever he was needed. Whether he was pushing sprint cars, teching cars, or giving drivers the 1 to go green next time by, he did it all for the love of the sport.
I’ve been racing the big sprint cars for 12 years and I can count on one hand how many races Gerry missed. I’d bet half of those were because he was somewhere else watching another race.
If you got to the track early, Gerry was probably already there, ready to talk racing and offer you a liquorice or a cigar. He always stayed updated on WoO/High Limit, who the fast guys were, and how bad fast Larson was the night before.
Gerry truly lived for the racetrack, the people, the stories and the time around the fire after the races.
This one’s for you, Gerry. 🏁 Rest in peace.
