Leo you will be missed by all. Racing started for me to have Red Man at the starting line and Leo announcing . Talking about Leo at the party was good for all of us. Thanks for being a great friend and thanks for what you did for our sport. Rest in peace from the Alvey family

What a huge loss for the racing community, we’ve lost an extraordinary announcer, a tremendously kind hearted guy and a true friend to all racers. Godspeed Leo, we’ll miss you lots!!

It is after hearing news like this when I sit back in my chair and think just how unfair life can be. Leo was such a wonderful friend to so many, it is unfair we have lost him at really such a young age - Leo was so very young at heart. Unfair to his family, he was such a big hearted man I can only imagine their loss.

Leo, we will miss your knowledge, your passion, your creative insights over the mic. But we will miss your true, caring friendship the most. We will see you sooner than we should wish to...

Re: RIP Leo Taugher
 

Truly everyones friend. Nancy and I will miss Leos voice and friendship. Very passionate about drag racing and a very warm individual.God Speed my friend.RIP

Re: RIP Leo Taugher
 

This is awful! I always enjoyed listening to Leo announcing Stock and Super Stock, but especially Comp Eliminator! Their first hit at the track on Thursday afternoon at the U.S. Nationals will never quite be the same.
We're all gonna miss you, Leo.

Re: RIP Leo Taugher
 

RIP Leo, I will miss his hearing "The Mustang's in high gear can he hold him off?!" in the videos he was announcing. I never got to meet him in person but sure wish I did.

Re: RIP Leo Taugher
 

I meet Leo in 2010 at the Jeg's Northern Sports National. Great sportsman announcer as it turned out he announced all my rounds in winning the SST title. RIP Leo we will miss you.

RIP Leo. You will be missed.
Met Leo in the early 70's at Quaker City. He was a great man and a real pro in the booth and walking the pits.
An old Quaker friend.

Re: RIP Leo Taugher
 

RIP Leo, Always enjoyed listening to him announce the sportsman classes as he was very knowledgeable about the cars and the drivers and their families.

Re: RIP Leo Taugher
 

Goodbye old friend.. His voice, and amazing knowledge of Class Cars was so very, very unusual. My first race in a Superstock car was at Quaker City in Ohio. Leo was announcing and after the days activities had settled, he showed up in our pit spot. Leo,John, and I sat out there under the stars, getting to know one other, for hours..

Re: RIP Leo Taugher
 

Leo always had a smile on his face and a kind word. He was a strong supporter of sportsman racing and will be sorely missed. RIP my friend...

Re: RIP Leo Taugher
 

Rest in peace, Leo.

Re: RIP Leo Taugher
 

Words can't explain how we feel. Leo will be in our hearts and minds at every race. We will miss his cheerful voice and smiling face. May God hold him in his hands and provide him with the peace that he can only provide. Cheers Elaine and Mark.

Re: RIP Leo Taugher
 

I'm not quite sure what to say, Division 3 has lost another great member of the family. Leo had a very distinct voice that I will never forget. He knew everyone, what class they ran, what engine combo it had, and he never forgot to mention the family members all without looking at the computer screen. Rest in peace Leo, glad I could spend some time with you at the Norwalk Nationals last year when you announced Competition Eliminator for the last time.


For all that would like to know. Don and Teresa Stratton will be hosting a get together in honor of Leo at their dealership Friday evening from 6 to 10 PM for anyone that is going to the viewing. The Strattons will also be providing food to all that come.
