CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Off season maintenance, don’t forget about your health…..

I have debated about sharing this info because my friend wasn't a stock or super/stock racer.

My friend died on December 11th of a heart attack and I am totally shocked by this. As far as I knew he was in good health. So even though things look good, please keep up with your check-ups and listen to your body when it talks to you.

Now a little about my friend. He was a track champion, division champion and world champion. He raced for Bardahl for many years and accomplished many great things on and off the track. Including starting and teaching at a school here in the Seattle area.

If you haven't figured it out by now - his name was AL YOUNG. Only 76 years old and taken from us WAY TOO SOON.

Godspeed my friend - I miss you very much.
