Bob Pott passes away - Page 2

I met Bob a few years back at Vegas and had the pleasure of seeing him a few more times at Indy. Bob was awesome, a super nice guy who I really enjoyed talking to at the track or on the phone. My heart goes out to the Pott family. RIP Bob Pott.

I met Bob and Kelly at Infinion a few years back. Great guy to talk to, and was extremely helpful. He will be missed deeply. RIP Bob.

Bob loved those Fords and was always willing to talk to you about them.
Rest in peace, Bob, and my condolences to his family.

Bob was one of the nicest, most-honest and enthusiastic cats that I've met in the years that I've followed Stock Eliminator. A Ford man through-and-through, and one of the toughest racers out there in a stick-shift Mustang. I'm very saddened by his passing, but, I'm glad that I had the opportunity to meet and get to know such a genuinely good person.

I will always remember Bob Pott, and pray that God watch over his family, as all of us move forward with his spirit in our hearts.

This one makes me sad. My deepest condolences.

Bob, you have been a true warrior from the racing scene in Arizona, definetly not a racer to be taken lightly and I'm sure his daughter will fill those shoes just as her dad taught her. My understanding is he really wanted to see his friend Dennis Alvey set the NHRA national record as Bob contributed significantly towards making that 428CJ fast. Dennis did set the A/S record a few weeks ago in Tucson. Maybe that was one of the last things Bob needed to do before he left this earth.
A true racer...
