Julie and Family,


Please accept my sincere condolences for your daddy Harry's passing.


It has been a long time since Patterson, but good memories nevertheless.


Harry always was fun to deal with and more fun to talk to as well.



May your sorrows be assuaged as you remember the good times.


Sincere Regards,

Re: RIP Harry Holton
 

That is very bad news to read. Condolences to the family.

Re: RIP Harry Holton
 

Honored to have worked side-by-side with him, on a Hemi, if only for a few moments. He dropped everything to help a racer in need, even when said racer was against one of his own cars in the next round. Godspeed to his friends, fans, and his wonderful family.

Race in Peace, Mr. Holton.

Re: RIP Harry Holton
 

My condolences to the Holton family. Harry was a mechanical genius, but most important a giving, humble, family man. Everyone who met him loved him, myself included. A great loss to human kind all the way around.

Tomorrow there will be a 900 hp Hemi on a dyno in heaven!

Rest In Peace, Harry!

Harry Holton was a inspiration and a valued source
of expert mechanical knowledge for me!

Re: RIP Harry Holton
 

I am so sorry for your loss. I still remember racing at Fremont,Half Moon Bay, Sonoma, Sacramento,and Bakersfield,back in the early 70's. I would always find Harry's Hemi in the pits and say hi. He was my idol, and I dreamed of owing a car like his.

I, personally, did not know Harry, but the name and cars and reputation are known by all.

Like everyone has said, Harry was mentor, friend and inspiration to many, many racers and other people.

harry is the best. love him dearly. julie and jarrod reflect his great ideals and integrity. wish peace to all of you.

Re: RIP Harry Holton
 

So sad to hear of Harry's passing. I think I had met him before, but my father got to meet him in 1999 at the Seattle race. My father was so impressed with that 1965 Hemi car that he still brings it up from time to time.

I think we were talking about being late on the tree, or spinning the tires, and I'm paraphrasing, but he said something like, "With a Hemi, you still always have an opportunity to win" referring to the power that they make. He sure did love his Hemis!

Re: RIP Harry Holton
 

Julie, may the Lord be with you and your family in this very sad time. Always enjoyed talking to Harry, will miss seeing him at the track. I remembered at Sonoma one year when they were doing an NHRA tearing down of one of his Hemis and asked if there we any issues, he said no Fred I'm way legal and I still have more things to try that that will make me faster, I was impressed because he was already running quicker and faster than any Hemi at the time, Fred Moreno

Re: RIP Harry Holton
 

Thank you everyone for your comments, they mean a lot to us. As you all know, I was very close with my dad. Every daughter should grow up with the love, security and unconditional support I had with him. Of course, that was enhanced over the years with our shared love of drag racing. He had an awful disease and the end was not pleasant. Even though we knew his time was coming and thought we were prepared to say goodbye, when he passed we found out we still weren't ready. But I have no regrets, he always knew how much I loved him. Each day gets better. I am doing his eulogy on Friday. I hope I can keep it together long enough to talk!

Re: RIP Harry Holton
 

Julie, during the eulogy remember you’re not up there alone. Your dad is right there, encouraging and cheering just as he’s always been. God’s peace surrounds your entire family.

Re: RIP Harry Holton
 

I remember hearing Harry's name when I was pretty young. He was one of my Dad's favorite S/S racers. I feel so fortunate to have gotten to know Harry, Julie and Jared after I began racing. Julie and Jared, my family sends our love and thoughts to all of you.
Sincerely, Bryan
