[Eric Merryfield]

So sorry to learn this. Jerry suggested that I race my 70 challenger in stock 10 plus years ago at epping, showed me the NHRA engine blueprint sheet....always greatly enjoyed talking with him, his battles with the tree, two quick stories from this year come immediately to mind: Atco open Jerry shows up with his car on a construction trailer after a accident on the way.....thats dedication.....lebanon valley divisional.....watching together as one of the brothers under the car is pulling out a broken 8.75 while positioning it on a old plastic catch pan....Jerry said"I don't think its going to hold"....right as it broke cascading diff fluid everywhere...Classic

We will so miss Jerry. Eric, Rayna, Jack, Kara and the hounds Bruno and Belle
