Rich Feldman-"Mr. Security"- R.I.P.

Travis Miller · 02-14-2016, 09:32 PM

It was always my pleasure when I got to tech Richard's 66 Chevy at the races. He was such a gentleman. Sometimes he would stop by the tech trailer when he saw I was not busy and we would talk about big body Chevies. I am glad Rick Brown told us about another side of Richard's life that I never knew.

I must tell about the time Richard's Chevy was out of commission and he showed up for tech at the Quaker City points meet to get a grading point. This was when we were still teching downtown behind the shopping center. I really felt bad because as hard as I tried, I could not find a class for the mid-engined Ferrari he drove to tech that day. Years later we still laughed about that when we would talk at the races.

Rest in peace Richard. You will be missed by many at the races.

So sorry to hear this. I considered Rich a good friend. Always a class act. He always came to see me if we were at the same race and I knew he loved his radio's we have talked about that too. RIP

Last year at the LODRS event in Norwalk Ambrose and crew were waiting out a delay on the track,sitting on chairs in the back of trailor when we hear this guy shout out "hold it". It was Richard,with his ever present camera and he snapped a great photo of Steve,Al and myself just hanging out. A week later an envelope with a glossy 8x10 copy inside ,unannounced,shows up at the shop with a note that said"I thought you guys might like a copy of this" That was pure Richard. If you knew him you loved him. Huge loss for all of us. Bob Huettman
