Chuck Nelson Passes Away
 

Today, my good friend and Division 4 Tech director Chuck Nelson passed away. I have known Chuck ever since I have been going to a drag strip with my dad. He was a great person, and did so much for the sport of drag racing here in Division 4. I had the time of my life driving his Aspen wagon and now his Aspen coupe.

Friend, you will truly be missed!

Most in the Divison have known about his health issues for quite some time, but it is always a sad day when you lose someone like Chuck. I am glad that he finally is without pain and suffering. He will be missed by all Racers who knew him from all Divisions.

He never failed to give me a hard time. I remember a couple of years ago at the Dallas National Event, I had just won the fifth round and when I pulled up on the scales he looked at me and said "are you lost?, this is for the round winners!!).

God Bless Chuck, we miss you already

So sorry to hear this. Always enjoyed my visits with Chuck. Always went to the scales to shoot the breeze with him before things got started. He sometimes helped Red tech my car during record tear downs. Always pleasant. Told me at the Tulsa race this year "Ed, I know your it's your car pulling on the scales from the sound. I don't even have to look up." Was not sure how to take that one. :-)

Chuck will certainly be missed. Really good guy.

For all that knew Mr.Nelson knows that he was truly one of the good guys. He did so much behind the scenes for me, my family, and Buckner Boys Racing there is no way I could ever repay him. Luckily I got to talk with him and his wife when he went in the hospital Friday night, and will never forget it. I know God will take care of our friend and his family. Prayers for all.

Chuck was one of the nicest people you will ever meet. After I moved out of d4 and up to d3 Chuck always went out of his way to speak to me and tell me that I was missed in d4. One of the truly good guys.
