George Baptiste
 

I was wondering if anyone knows about George Baptiste? Haven't seen him at the races in a while.

Re: George Baptiste
 

I've seen him up on the starting line a few times in recent years when the AH cars are running at the Dutch Classic. He still has his car.

Great to hear that he still attends...

Re: George Baptiste
 

A great gentleman
Parked beside him at the dutch one year
He spent a lot of time talking to us like we were long lost friends
Glad he is doing well...

Walter Frye introduced him to me at maple Grove a while back his grandson was racing.
What a great guy!


"Why Not?"

Re: George Baptiste
 

He stopped by Hebert's pit at Indy a few years ago. Said he had just returned from a trip to Hawaii. Still looked the same. He doesn't seem to age

Mr. Baptiste is the first reason my brother and I fell in love with AH! We still talk about watching him row the gears in his Cuda at MG! Never met him personally but would love to see that car again go down the quarter mile. Glad to hear he's doing well and the car is still alive :)

Re: George Baptiste
 

George is alive and well my buddy Justin Lopes is friends with his nephew
First time I met George I told him Man you are trying to brake that car from the water box to the finish line. He just laughed He’s got great stories

Yea, Me too. Great guy. I'll never forget when revved that thing up, the top of the intake manifold puffed in and out like a lung!
