I was sadly informed today of the passing of Erik Kaufman.. brother and stellar crew chief to his brother Michael, a great D1 Top Sportsman racer, and also crew chief to Gerry Russo, another great D1 Comp racer.. Erik passed this morning around 7:30 am.. I was not given details..

Erik was a wonderful human being and a great friend in the D1 one pits.. there was never a sad moment when Erik was around.. he will be greatly missed by many..

My condolences and sympathies go out to his brother Michael and the entire Kaufman family.. as well as to Gerry Russo, friends, and Erik's entire racing family.. GODSPEED ERIK!!
